Perhaps, Assad wants to help his fellow Red bastard friend and provoke a wider conflict, or evn try to get some extra land. On the secrecy part, the war has mainly been to the East, South and North of B'Dad. The Americans, more than likely don't see the point of worrying about the Syrians because, rightly they are next in the firing line, that'll please the anti-war brigades!!!

In my opinion, we probably should take care of Syria before leaving the neighborhood!!
