Hi. How's your car running? Getting good mileage, I hope. Don't skimp on the octane. By the way, I represent a country that supplies more than 20% of your oil. And we do so gladly, for you are our friends, and you will always be our friends. Which brings me to my next point. There are many voices being raised saying we support these terrible people who do bad things to you. These voices are loud and, frankly, annoying. In our country, when people speak thusly, we cut out their vocal cords. Which brings me to my final point. You shouldn't jump to conclusions about us. Remember, four of the nineteen hijackers on Sept.11 were not from Saudi Arabia. That's about the same percentage as the oil we supply you. So think about that the next time you hit the accelerator and pass that slow-moving camel. ironictimes.com

IDF: Palestinians recently fired Kassam 3 rockets for first time By Amos Harel, Ha'aretz Correspondent The Israel Defense Forces believes that the rockets fired over the past two days by Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip that landed in the western Negev desert were Kassam 3's, Ha'aretz has learned. This would be the first time that Palestinians have used the Kassam 3, which has a longer range and carries a larger explosive charge than previous versions. With a range of up to 12 kilometers, the Kassam 3 could easily hit large population centers. The range of the Kassam 2 is between 5 and 6 kilometers, while Hamas boasts that the new version has a range of between 10 and 12 kilometers. According to IDF estimates, the rockets fired over the past two days have a range of up to to 8 kilometers. In addition, the caliber of the Kassam 3 is 170mm, compared to 110mm on the previous version. It is believed that the rockets were fired by Hamas or Islamic Jihad activists. The accuracy of the new model Kassam is still thought to be poor, and IDF armaments experts are currently examining the remains of the rockets. Palestinians first used the Kassam 2 in January this year, despite Israeli warnings of massive retaliation. haaretzdaily.com
