Howard knows his limits, apparently.

MITCHELL:
The Americans also seem to be turning attention to Syria. Do you support that?
PRIME MINISTER:
Well I certainly support the warnings they’ve given Syria about not cooperating with terrorism. I don’t think what the Americans have said should be construed for a moment as heralding some kind of invasion of Syria. I think there has been a complete overreaction by some people to what they have said. I certainly don’t expect for a moment, and would not support, any invasion of Syria. That’s not something that’s on our agenda.

We'll see how long he holds to that, though I will say they're heartening words.
