#1 Moscow, London, and Paris are likely 25m targets. The recent downing of a Russian airliner may have simply been a test run. I would not discount simultaneous, multiple ISIS targeting during the upcoming Christian Holiday.

This may at least partially explain the UK's recently announced bombing campaign.

#2 Um, this doesn't meet my definition of contained no matter how small the simulator is.

#3 I'll assume the automatic firmware updates should be easier to corrupt than a centrifuge.

#5 A belief the United States is secretly in league with ISIS is widespread in Iraq among both Sunni and Shia groups, the Washington Post reported Tuesday. Many believe that is the only explanation for what they see as a failed U.S. campaign against ISIS.

Yeah. ISIS, Libya, Syria, Turkey, Obama. Somehow they do all seem connected.

#6 And if we know where this facility is, what are we waiting for? A little shock and awe would do the trick. Or, maybe, we decided those guys are not the enemy? Or we wouldn't want to offend a friendly government? Or what?

#7 Don't be silly KBK - we don't have the necessary UN Authority to do so. You noticed the Brits argued about that before they voted to attack ISIS in Syria?

#8 When it absolutely, positively needs to be destroyed overnight, send in ....... (fill in the blank). B-52's, Sayeret Matkal, the SAS, DevGru, etc.
