zeena huda in lebanon. >> more on the situation now, rama huli joins us from the institute for public policy and international affairs at the american university of beirut. good to have you with us 689 first of all, what sort of scale of military, range of target did, do you think we might see hit by the u.s.? >> well, the u.s. says this is going to be limited, punitive, and aiming at stopping the syrian regime from carrying out any other chemical attacks. so presumably, they are going to hit military targets that would degrade the ability of the syrian army and the armed forces and the air force to carry out such attacks, artillery sites, possibly some of the air force sites. what's not clear is if the salt is aimed to help the rebels gain a military advantage. this is really a critical strategic issue, and we just don't know what the united states is going to do, and we will just have to wait and see until the attack takes place. >> that takes us straight to my next point, which is how much coordination, if any, has there been between the u.s. and some of the opposition groups preci
