The only thing they might try is if a stratigic attack, such as a WMD, is launched against Israel and they try to exploit the turmoil to regain the Golan. Theres only 9 more shopping days until the 22nd.

Oooooh good point. Hasn't it been theorized that Syria was the main recipient of the Iraqi WMD's? Think they have the capability to maintain and use those?

I'm sure fellow Baathist Saddam had some of his people accompany the materials. That along with some soviet trained Syrians, they should be able to maintain them. I don't think Assad has what it takes to unilaterally strike Israel with WMD's and there is the outstanding friction between the predominantly secular, arab Baathist Syria and the Shia wacko Persians. If Syria acts, it'll probably be as a follow on / exploitation of anything Iran does.
