#15  "U.S. Air Force advised to conduct simulations for strike against nuclear Iran"

I'd advise them to do it against a pre-nuclear Iran.

But that's just me.

#14  CNC milling of condoms would relieve that pesky V1agra reliance, but likely suffer a reduction of sensitivity (YMMV)

#13  Condoms?

Just guessing, but from the hint, "...custom CNC milling..." and one time use...etc, it probably has something to do with ordinance of some kind.

I have no idea beyond that.

#12  IMO the US-NATO + UNSC can't wait five years, i.e. 2015 0r 2015-2020.

As time goes on, the US will have only more Islamist-dominated/controlled Arab-Muslim Govts = Islamist-dominated/controlled Civilian Nucprogs, etc. to contend with. IT WILL NO LONGER BE "JUST IRAN", OR EVEN PAKISTAN.

THE ECON-TROUBLED USA + ITS VOLUNTEER ARMY CAN'T ATTACK 'EM ALL, + IRAN + RADICAL ISLAM KNOW IT.

* DRUDGEREPORT > AHMADINEJAD: IRAN NOT AFRAID TO MAKE TO MAKE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.

Iran, etal. "Rogues" is unlikely to declare itself a de facto NucWeaps State UNLESS ITS NGOS = NON-STATE MILTERR PROXIES [e.g. Hezbollah] ALSO POSSESSESS A POTENT ABILITY TO CARRY OUT POTENT NUKE-WMDS INTERNATIONAL TERROR AT WILL, ESPEC AGZ THE US-WEST.

#9  So they are not the precision-milled titanium war boomerangs we keep hearing about.

Uh...nope. They are --as my relative says-- designed to be used one time.

#6  I have a relative that works for a company that does custom CNC milling work. They have received an order for some *items*, a lot of *items* from a three letter agency.

These items always go out, but never come back.

#2  The interesting bit here is not the content, but the timing and the fact that it is being publicly announced.
