Although they did propose a resolution in the UN Security Council ordering Syria to remove its troops from Lebanon which was subsequently passed I believe. An attempt to get support for an invasion of Syria? Maybe. They probably won't want to do it alone again. Anyway, there's no oil in Syria so they might as well get someone else to do it.
Of course, the fact that Lebanon requested the presence of the Syrian troops to begin with matters not a jot to Bush.
