Syrian-Iranian Chemical Weapons Experiment goes awry
This might shed some light on the Israeli ”excursion” into Syria.
Proof of cooperation between Iran and Syria in the development and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was brought to light Monday in a Jane’s Magazine 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 and VX gas.The factory was created specifically for the purposes of altering ballistic missiles to carry chemical payloads, the magazine report claimed.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 Syrains 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 comment has been forthcoming from Dennis Kucinich.

That’s beyond good news. That’s infotainment. The bad news? Here we go again, having to convince the handwringers of this world there are actual bad people who would do evil with illegal weapons, and need to be killed. Good news, Israel’s on it. A little of that can go a long way.
