| #17 Yes, dishdasha has two d's. 100' of wire. Suggests to me that you needn't look much farther than 100' in many cases. |

| #10 I thought it was dishdasha, with two ds. Am I wrong, or is this a simple spelling error? |

| #3 (2) improvised Bangalore torpedoes (1) Pakistani #36 green grenade (3) Chinese M-6 fuses Surely these are new, not pre-invasion stockpiles? And am I correct that these are not the best sources of supply? Were the swords poorly made, rusted and blunt? |

| #2 Pellet Guns. Made me think of Chevy Chase and John Candy on the roller coaster in Vacation. |

| #1 I'm guess the swords are for Allen approved beheadings. |
