#1 Does Israel have a 100% anti-missile defence?

Yes, against the Photoshop-ones.

#2 Why am I not surprised? LA Times, AP, NY Times...this is par for the course for them. Anything that helps the enemy.

#6 Mystery solved:

Remember the MSM published pictures of Photoshop smoke in southern Lebanon a couple of years ago.

Iran probably gave Hezbollah some prototypes of the Photoshop rocket. They were untested and must of blown up on the launchpad. Hence the Photoshop smoke.

Could they be real and we have a "Photoshop Missile Gap".

#7 I commented at the The Lede (10:25 am under my name) about this. I'm modestly surprised they published it after moderation.
