#1 It is clear from the context that she was referring to a well-knownJuly 6, 1962 explosion at the Nevada Test Site codenamed "Sedan."

So, the next step would be for Sudan to demand royalties from every U.S. car maker for making certain kinds of vehicles...

#4 See "French military defeats"

Or "French military victories". It would amount to the same.

#10 I'm sure that if Sudan is disappointed with the US response, we can follow through by actually conducting a nuclear surface test. I recommend Khartoum, and we'll need to keep it a surprise, so there won't be too many onlookers and gawkers. Oh, and let's make it a really BIG one, say 15MT.

#11 Emir al-Litella has it right -- this has all the makings of a Saturday Night Live skit.
