And here's one that gets little coverage. Talk about being hoist by your own petard.....

Syria and Iran are cooperating on efforts to add WMD to missiles, according to this news report from Jane's Defence Weekly.
Proof of cooperation between Iran and Syria in the proliferation and development of weapons of mass destruction was brought to light Monday in a Jane's Defence Weekly report that dozens of Iranian engineers and 15 Syrian officers were killed in a July 23 accident in Syria.

According to the report, cited by Channel 10, the joint Syrian-Iranian team was attempting to mount a chemical warhead on a Scud missile when the explosion occurred, spreading lethal chemical agents, including sarin nerve gas.

Reports of the accident were circulated at the time; however, no details were released by the Syrian government, and there were no hints of an Iranian connection.

The report comes on the heels of criticism leveled by the Syrians at the United States, accusing it of spreading "false" claims of Syrian nuclear activity and cooperation with North Korea to excuse an alleged Israeli air incursion over the country this month.

No amount of wishing is going to make their efforts to try to attack Israel with such weapons. I so fear that we're going to wake up one day with the story of a missile attack releasing sarin or some other chemical on Jerusalem.
