Syria knows they're part of The Bush League's 2006 election strategy:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Syria cannot imagine a scenario that would warrant moving its troops back to Lebanon, and will avoid giving the United States any such "pretext" to attack, Syria's ambassador to Washington said on Monday.
...
"Syria is not that foolish to actually leave Lebanon and keep some elements there and (let Washington) use these elements as the pretext to harm Syria," Moustapha said in an interview with Reuters.

I guess W and his Bush League minions will just have to rehire
Douglas Feith to "fix" up some designer intelligence.
