The most likely target is Syria.
Cheney's newest addition to the neocon staff is an expert on getting rid of Syria.

<font color=navy> A neo-conservative strategist who has long called for the United States and Israel to work together to "roll back" the Ba'ath-led government in Syria has been quietly appointed as a Middle East adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney.

David Wurmser, who had been working for Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security John Bolton, joined Cheney's staff under its powerful national security director, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, in mid-September, according to Cheney's office. </font>

The strategy that Wurmser seems to advocate is to get Israel to keep striking at Syria using pretexts such as this:

Eventually, they expect Syria to respond in which case the U.S. comes to the rescue (instead of being the invading conquerer). I wouldn't expect that they want to fight until spring, but with this kind of tactic they will need to have the aircraft prepositioned since there is no telling for sure when Syria responds and they have to be ready to strike before a clear picture emerges.
