Larry,
Synonyms don't work on DDL statements, as you discovered.
However, rather than granting a user DROP ANY TABLE, which
it seems to me could be easily misused or abused, why not do:
As user1:
create function truncate_the_table as
begin
execute immediate 'truncate table this_table';
end;
/
grant execute on truncate_the_table to user2;
As user2:
exec truncate_the_table;
That may be a better solution for you....
