But the Mossad is an intelligence service of a US ally, not a terrorist organization who has made threats against the US.

Like that of France, the Mossad looks out for its own nation's interests at the expense of ours. In addition to Pollard, several of the commentators on Fox (Colonel Hunt, for one) have been talking last few days about fact that half of the reports coming out of Syria cant be trusted because they are planted their by the Mossad for their own purposes.

Yes, the Mossad looks out for Israel's interests (as it should), but much more often than not Israel's interests coincide or overlap with ours. For example, both countries share a common interest in hunting down and destroying the various Islamofascist terrorist organizations that infest that part of the world.

As for Syria, no one disputes that Syria supports Hezbollah, a terrorist group which among many other things is responsible for the deaths of 283 US marines in Beirut in 1983. Someone needs to tell me why now is not the time to bring these people to justice, even if doing so requires military action (or the threat of same) against Syria. I haven't even mentioned US intelligence reports that Syria is helping the Saddamites escape US capture.
