#1 In France soap would be suspicious, but Spain? Naaaahhhhh. Now, the bottles with the wicks stuffed in the necks? Maybe...

#2 Umm, everyone knows that all you need to make napalm is gasoline and soap, right? I think every household in the North America has those ingredients!

Actually, Scooter, you don't even need that much. There are over a dozen working recipes for jellied gasoline (napalm is just the name for one SPECIFIC type, napatha palmitate). *I* was taught them by the army, but you can find similar recipes all over the damned net. All it is, really, is just a thick liquid soap that burns. Very simple, and I'm told that the folks who invented the first version actually wondered why they hadn't thought of it decades earlier. Then realized, hey, they'd just RE-invented Greek Fire. Duh.
