not synonymous - even though it sometimes is portrayed that way. Web services are an enabling technology for SOA. Just because you are using web services does not mean you are creating an SOA.
Have a look at:

Many business can benefit from using web services to achieve narrow aspects of SOA, like application/service reuse and loose coupling (something that good Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)was trying to accomplish all along
