ReutersDisturbing images and videos from last week's alleged chemical attack in the Syrian civil war have radically upped the stakes for the outside world, creating new pressure to engage in some kind of intervention.

The White House is said to be confident that the claims of a chemical attack are in fact valid, and reportedly there have been preliminary plans/discussions about a possible strike on Syria.

This seems to have gotten the attention of Syrian President Assad.

According to CNN and other outlets, Syria has agreed to let inspectors onto the site of the alleged attack.

The Syrian government is blaming the chemical attack ont he rebels, and the access to the cite is apparently going to come immediately.
