#3 "Desperate gesture" or deliberate attempt to keep the damn things from falling into radical Islamic hands. Either way, a win. I beleive the Palindaba Nuclear Facility was shut down prior to a radical transitional government arrived as well. All things considered, a very wise move.

#4 It is either a test before he launches more, or it is a sorry attempt to show force. Either way, he is weakened.
