Iraq in 1990 and Syria in 2012

In 1990 and 1991, Israel was regularly threatening to attack Iraq.  Once, Saddam said that if Israel were to attack Iraq, Iraq would respond with chemical weapons.  The next day, and week, and months, all Western media carried the same headline: Saddam threatens to burn Israel with chemical weapons.
In 2012, well, you can tell the rest of the story and fill in the blanks.
