No its totally different
the Iraq Dosser was not released by the JIC it was based on multiple sources that Alister Darling then "Sexed up" to make the case for war stronger. The reasons behind any attack against Syria are totally different and there is more support for action against Syria and lastly.
We actually know that Syria has WMD
really the two are nothing alike, Syria is probably going to be a very limited conflict, it will be more like Libya than Iraq.

Regardless its still not a re-run

At this point all the international community wants to do is limit and deter Assad's ability to use chemical weapons.
Yes it will be a limited conflict more like Libya than Iraq, there is not going to be any huge ground invasion because neither side wants that.
If you truly believe that, then you must be naive.
the issue at the hear of this thread is the OP's assertion that Syria is going to be a re-run of Iraq
Syria is probably going to be a very limited conflict, it will be more like Libya than Iraq.
And if you are as well informed about Syria as you claim, then you would of never said
Syria is probably going to be a very limited conflict, it will be more like Libya than Iraq.
My knowledge of Syria leads me to believe that right now that for Syria to be worse than Iraq we would need to see a full NATO invasion of Syria with ground forces and just now that is not on the cards, as such it cannot be any worse than Iraq in my view.
