Bottom line - the Israelis have every reason to lie to us about WMDs being in Syria, and none to be truthful if they're not there.

You can't be that ignorant of 50 years of history. Which buddies are the Syrians going to invite to the party? the Palestinians? Oops Israel is already at war with them. Lebanon? Oops, it's already part of Syria. Egypt? Do they want to lose the Gaza? Again? Jordan? Do they want to lose the rest of their country? The Gulf States? Ha ha ha ha ha. Iraq? Nope, US controlled.
Israel doesn't need us to take out Syria and their history of self-defence trumps anything we could do over there. Why the hate? Are you anti-semitic?
