1)From a strategic standpoint I don't think Israel wants us to remove the Assad regime. As long as they are attacking each other they aren't attacking them. not that Syria is any kind of threat in the first place.

2) I'm opposed to bombing Syria unless it can be proven the bombing will lead to a better outcome.
