#3 Long as they "Hit" the right person(s) I see nothing to bitch about, Some assholes (Hezbollocks, Ham-Ass) Need killing.

On the same subject, there should be a huge effort to wipe out all "Religious Police" of any and all religions.

#4 A very useful bit of work, Pappy, pulling together scattered bits of information into a form from which conclusions can be drawn. Thank you!

#5 Nice work, Pappy.
Some observations.

1. I've often wondered if the CIA has their own "pirate operation" setup in Somalia or in the area to strictly intercept "interesting cargos". It's nice cover. Might even pay for itself.

2. Nobody sane appears to be too crazy about North Koreans.

3. The Israeli's have never had any qualms about taking out anything or anybody they perceive to be a threat to them. An added benefit is they usually never admit to any of it which sows more confusion amongst it's enemies. A little distrust amongst "the boys" ain't a bad thing. Maybe we did, maybe we didn't. We know you think we did, but how do you know it wasn't...that guy sitting across the table from you that set it up or helped us set it up? Or had has own guys pull it off? Maybe somebody gave him a better deal? Or was a bigger threat? Think you can trust...anybody?

4. I wonder if the Iranians get the message that the Israeli's won't hesitate to take out their nuke program if they're on the verge of getting a bomb? I also wonder if they realize that most of their "friends" in the area won't have that big problem with it. Oh, they'll make a lotta noise about it publically, but they'll also be breathing a lot easier. They could ask Saddam about Osirak but...oh yeah...he's not around anymore. But the Syrians are. Ask them.

5.As far as a WMD in Gaza, I don't know how anybody even half sane would trust the "jihad mission" boys with anything bigger than an Estes rocket and a car battery. What a work accident that would be. But, of course, the main suspect here would be the Iranians, who seem more than willing to fight to the last Palestinian, Syrian, or Lebanese.

WMD also covers chemical and biological agents.
