ANCHOR: The pressure's mounting on President Obama to take
military action against the Syrian government. In an exclusive
interview with CNN, Mr. Obama asserted that he may be close it
making that decision. The urgency was made maybe a whole lot
more clear this morning when snipers opened fire on a U.N.
vehicle carrying U.N. weapons inspectors to the site of an
alleged chemical attack in Damascus. Happened in a suburb of the
city last week. There were no injuries in this morning's sniper
shooting, but no word on who is responsible for it. Activists
say the U.N. inspectors later reached the site and did check the
area with doctors.  Our Chris Lawrence is covering this
developing story.   CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT
