#1 Note this. The first point I noticed was Tel Aviv is not Israel's capital. Then the Dolphin deal was not negotiated in secret.I stopped reading after this because ofspelling mistakes.

#2 Summoned to the Oval Room in the White House on a 1963 visit to Washington, the young Peres was asked in his words, '30 rapid-fire questions,' before Kennedy asked: "Are you building a nuclear option?" Peres said he changed the subject.

"What is the average air speed of a unladen swallow?"

#5 over the next decade

That's a long time given today's world.
I'm projecting Israel taking defensive/retaliatory action in the spring (first 100 days).

#6 #4 17

Heh. Engineers!

I believe Ship's expression can be refactored as:
X = (5 existing + 3 new subs ) * 4 Popeyes/sub
Evaluation is left as an exercise for the Reader.

#7 Of course, SteveS, but Shipman forgot the parentheses, which changes the order of operations.

#8 I can't see why Germany would have to do anything to make a submarine nuclear-enabled. Is extra shielding needed?
