My take is that we are just increasing the pressure on Syria, because we have the damning evience that Syria was in bed with Saddam, so we letting them know that we have the goods on them. Ultimately invading Syria doesn't make sense so it won't happen.

Are Syrians any less deserving than Iraqi's for freedom and democracy? Will the Syrian regime be any less supportive of the PLO? It makes sense to invade Syria while all the equipment and personel are there now, not to mention the cost of shipping all the un used ordinance back to the US.

Iraq is the real deal and we will be very commited to insuring Iraq becomes a succesful prosperous country.
It has the natural resources to become a very prosperous country, far richer than Saudia Arabia.

Syria does not have the natural resource endowment that Iraq has. Is this why Syria won't be invaded?

And after Iraq is succesful the next domino to fall will be Iran.

Given the intelligence windfall indicating that Putin provided a list of available assassins in the west to Saddam, Iran must have a regime change before Putin gives them the nuclear capability for WMD's. Also, one less member of OPEC may also help move the oil market to a period of sustained over supply.
