#1 Egyptians reinforce positions at Rafah in preparation for IDF ground incursion

We drive the rats, and they shoot them?

#2 It is an interesting question, g(r)omgoru. I believe the Americans call it hammer and anvil.

#3 I hope for long and fruitless talks, with Gaza rubble and Islamo-deaders increasing every day.

Start with the shape of the table, that's important. Also, the brand of hummus and Zam-Zam bottle size

#4 Frank, is Zam-Zam water kosher? I am sure that it is halal, but we need to get a ruling from all the Jewish authorities before we serve it.

Unfortunately, they aren't meeting right now, so we will have to wait.

#5 By all means Commodore Frank, give em all the double Z water they want.

From Wiki:
In May 2011, a BBC London investigation found that water marketed as having been taken from the Zamzam Well contained high levels of nitrate, potentially harmful bacteria, and arsenic at levels three times the legal limit in the UK.[9] Arsenic is a carcinogen, raising concerns that Muslims who regularly consume commercial Zamzam water in large quantities may be exposed to higher risks of cancer. The British Food Standards Agency has in the past issued warnings about water claiming to be from the Zamzam Well containing dangerous levels of arsenic;[10] such sales have also been reported in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where it is illegal to sell Zamzam.[3] The Saudi government has prohibited the commercial export of Zamzam water from the kingdom.[3] However, there is a strong commercial demand for Zamzam which has resulted in continued commercial distribution of water alleged to be Zamzam.
