#3 Get the Kleenex. It's some British wanker wanking furiously about the ~~Jews~~ neocons. Substitute Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator for X-47 and the fact quotient of this story would not change.

#5 An awful lot of guided missiles going that way. I'd be scared. If true.

#6 How many destroyers are there in a squadron?

No set number. As few as three, sometimes as many as twelve.

#7 How about sending some of those ships up into the Black Sea? Georgia could use a little help from her friends, just now.
