Welcome to the Arab mindset of "talk big, but do nothing."
If Syria isn't mobilizing their Army, then they are just mouthing off Hezbollah-happy-talk.

DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Syria will support its allies Hizbollah and Lebanon against Israel's attacks on the country, the ruling Baath Party said on Friday.
"The Syrian people are ready to extend full support to the Lebanese people and their heroic resistance to remain steadfast and confront the barbaric Israeli aggression and its crimes," a communiqu issued by the party's national command said.
What a surprise!
In a normal world, this would immediately broaden the conflict to include Syria.
lets just have war now while we are stronger.
crush the jihadis and bring a lasting peace.
Now there's a shocker.
New targets.
Syria was backing off. What's happened?

Perfect! You summed it all up in that ONE sentence.
We should just do what needs to be done. We may not like what is required, but it has/will come down to them or us.
msm loving it.
This is pretty big news. For some reason, you seem convinced that neither Iran or Syria is going to jump into the fray, but right here we have Syria saying it's going to do that. "Our full support" implies military support.
No kidding, we aren't dealing with the best and the brightest here. I'm happy for the additional targets.
The surprise is they're willing to admit it.
SHOCKER!!!!!!
Good. Then Syria is a party to this war. Time to scorch Damascus.
