10. You said you couldn't find any reports of a terrorist attack "supposedly launched"

from Syria into Israel. You were "coming up blank". Reports in the Israeli press were provided to you.

Next, you claimed that because the attack wasn't covered in "English language media", it couldn't have been "that bad". "English language" reports from major press agencies were provided to you. Those reports include the name of the terrorist group that claimed responsibility.

Now the tact appears to be that, because the terrorist missile attack didn't kill anyone, there was no need to apprehend those suspected to be responsible. After all, the terrorist cell is only "a couple of guys in a village". And besides, why take "their" word for it when we already have the *reliable* Syrian state media version of the events source-washed through the prism of the BBC?

Sorry this didn't go quite as you had hoped. It has, however, been fun to watch the steady and predictable march of the goal posts all the way off the field and into the parking lot.
