That was the public justification for it. So officially you did. Though Tony Blair is trying his best to retrospectively provide a palatable non-WMD based justification.
The better question is what is Russia going to do about it? They've been fairly strong supporters of the Assad regime up until now. Are they going to now ally with the USA and the rest of Eurpoe in seeking the removal of Assad and his croies from office?
And China also needs to take a strong stand on this.
Without Russia and China being willing to materially contribute the USA has too much war fatigue and resource comitment to Afghanistan and Iraqm to actually effect proper military action in Syria.
