'Earlier this week, Trump said his administration was working on a response to the suspected chemical attack, including military options. '
'As president, Trump has boasted that he does not disclose his plans ahead of time. '
'Trump drew flak from his tweets on Wednesday from critics who pointed out that he had regularly attacked then-president Obama for previewing U.S. military strategy, revelations that Trump argued gave the enemy an advantage. '
'U.S. officials stressed Wednesday that planning for airstrikes has been careful and orderly, and has involved diplomatic and intelligence agencies as well as the Pentagon. '
'On Monday, he said a decision would come in 24 to 48 hours, a time frame that has now elapsed and been complicated by plans for an international inspection of the attack area. '
