Syria 'agrees' to peace plan deadline

According to this artical on BBC, Syria has agreed to -on April 10th- pull back all soldiers and weapons being used to attack their people, and send humanitarian aid.  But many are concerned thet Assad will not be reliable enough to keep his promise- including the US rep. for the UN, Susan Rice.

The BBC's Barbara Plett, in New York, says Mr Annan told the closed session that Syria had said it was not ready to pull troops and heavy weapons out of the cities unless the armed opposition laid down their weapons too.  
The deadline will make clear whether, as some of his critics have said, Mr Assad is simply stalling for time, our correspondent adds.
Will Assad actually follow through?
And if he does, then what?
What measures does America need to take- both in dealing with Assad and helping the Syrian people?
