#1 Anyone taking bets that these improvements came to Hizballah (Hezballah, same same) via Syria via Iran via Russia?

I'd like to see a list of Izzoid SuperChemists. Okay, show me again. Nope. One more time - I promise I won't blink this time.

So if it's not homebrew, then you have to ask who they're cozily doing business with that has spent a few decades developing exotics. Oooh, a toughie... What's a little chemistry among friends when exchanging friggin' nuke technology for cash? Cake, meet icing.

Maybe the US should pull out some exotic stuff, manufacture some fine undergarments of the correct size, and ship them to Mrs. Putin for her approval. Think he'd appreciate the gesture?

#2 No doubt there is some exaggeration here. Hamas hasn't made a press release yet and I think if they were really ready to launch, they would make one of their "beware the gates of hell" type pronouncements.

#3 From the Daily Herald: In the village of Taffuh near Hebron in the West Bank, three Palestinians were killed in an explosion in a house. Palestinians and Israeli military sources said they were Hamas activists trying to make a bomb. No Israeli troops were in the area, both sides said.

Now what did I say about those prematures?

#4 Sounds like they may have invented nitro glycerin.

#5 Sounds like they may have invented nitro glycerin.
If that's the case, time for some sonic booms over Gaza...
