As to your question, certainly it is possible, but it is unlikely.

The
Israelis, who are far more sophisticated in these matters than we

are,
would have noticed.

Hehehe. You haven't been paying attention. The Israeli's *did*

notice.

A bit naive about the Israelis, are we?


Me, naive? You said "the Israeli's would have noticed" convoys of large
trucks heading into Syria. I told you they already *did* notice...and I
provided a link from ONE YEAR AGO to prove it.

What's your spin now that you've been made to eat your words?



And the follow-up to a nothing report is?

I'm waiting.

Report: Syria aiming VX missiles at Israel
Defense source says at least 100 chemical warheads deployed

Syria is aiming at least 100 long-range ballistic missiles equipped with
VX - the most lethal nerve gas - at central Israel, according to a senior
Israeli defense source.

Damascus now has achieved its goal of balancing Israel's nuclear advantage,
said the source, quoted by Jane's Foreign Report this week.

U.S. and Israeli intelligence sources have said they believe Syria hid
evidence of Saddam Hussein's deployment of weapons of mass destruction among
its own arsenal of unconventional weapons.

In April, the Defense Department said Syria had conducted a series of
chemical-weapons tests to exploit the transfer of Iraqi expertise.

A captured Iraqi scientist who worked in Iraq's chemical weapons program for
more than a decade said Iraq had secretly sent unconventional weapons and
technology to Syria since the mid-1990s, the New York Times reported in
April.

In May, Jane's Intelligence Digest said Syria's scientific expertise made
the existence of a biological weapons program entirely plausible.

German and Israeli sources, according to Jane's, have asserted Syria
possesses and can weaponize anthrax, botulinum toxin and the toxin ricin.

In 1973, Syria allegedly received assistance and chemical agents from Egypt
and had the capability to produce and weaponize sarin and VX nerve agents by
1986, as well as mustard blister agents.

Syria also was believed to have received considerable help with its delivery
systems from the former Soviet Union.

The Israeli daily Ha'aretz said the U.S. believes Syrian President Bashar
Assad is having difficulty controlling the advisers of his late father,
former president Hafez Assad.

Bashar Assad has promised U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell he would get
Syria removed from the U.S. list of states supporting terror. But the senior
aides, who had little influence while the elder Assad was alive, are
exploiting the younger Assad's inexperience, Ha'aretz reported. Their
hardline is preventing any effort to stop the flow of weapons and money to
terrorists in south Lebanon.
