#1 inaugurating a "heavy-water" reactor

Why can't the press get this right?

AhNutJob inaugerated a heavy water production plant.
It makes heavy water D2O.

The heavy water reactor at Arak is at least 3 years from completion. A small 40 MW research reactor, it will no doubt make medical isotopes etc. Problem is with is ability for online refuelling and the amount of weapons grade Plutonium it can make per year - about 9 kg - enough for a bomb or two

#2 In Iraq, clandestine Iranian aid, from sophisticated "Improvised Explosive Devices" to funds and weapons to the two main Shi'ite militias, may be designed to maneuver the U.S. into a humiliating, Vietnamlike withdrawal from Iraq.

An accurate assessment I'd say.

#3 The Israel-lost dogma is hard to shake. Even Nasrallah's statement of tactical regret for the precipative kidnappings, and his handing out counterfeit US money, can't pop the deception baloon.

Israel's three main targets - Dahiya (South Beirut), Bint Jebei and Aita ai-Shaeb are piles of rubble. Hizbollah supporters are homeless, while their leaders may finally come under Lebanese command.

Maybe, Hitler should have stayed in his Bunker for a couple of years after VE day, and then came out and proclaimed victory.

#4 Hexb'Allah has a big rebuilding effort, no doubt. But if the Iranians want to finance it, it will get done. And then Israel will be back where it was before the war. But without its reputation for invincibility or the two hostages. But it will probably still have Olmert.
