Is Syria the next target for invasion?

Have others on this board noticed the increasingly hostile news and policy talk directed toward Syria?  It strikes me that this is the kind of lead-up that could result in a US invasion of that country.  

Immediately after invading Iraq, one began to hear outcries about members of Saddam's government escaping to Syria or the supposed spiriting of WMD to Syria so that they would not be found in Iraq.  Rapid initial speculation about a Syrian invasion in 2003 were denied by the administration.

Following the assasination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in February and the more recent killing of the anti-Syrian journalist, Samir Kassir, the drumbeat against Syria is getting louder.

In January of 2005, reports of an imminent invasion of Syria were beginning to surface.  While this prediction proved premature, the delay might simply be attributable to a shortage of troops for deployment.  

As reported by CNN and diaried earlier on this board by JJB, Syria has recently halted cooperation with US military and intelligence services.  

The recent statement by Bush accusing Syria of ongoing intelligence activities in Lebanon suggests that he is no longer willing to let lower ranking members of the administration make the case against Syria.  

Besides, he now knows that it takes about 12 months to build a case for invasion, and it is not too soon to be thinking about an issue for the 2006 elections...
