AddReply(407407,"Kassams are powered by rocket candy...","Mike","Vienna, VA","03/02/09","...Their warheads are made from [---------] (deleted).  \n\nIn the absence of sugar to make rocket candy, one can reprocess complex carbohydrates into sugar.  Pasta is much more suitable for this kind of reprocessing than rice.  The other interesting use for pasta is to make it into [-------], a high explosive.  This would replace [ ---------]  as warhead material.  Again, rice is far less suitable as starting material in such endeavors.\n\nNow, try and explain this in front of ignorant reporters whose knowledge of military matters begins and ends with Hollywood movies.");

AddReply(406401,"CNN should do this..","yvonne","cary","02/27/09","nice, small, humanitarian deed. CNN is seen worldwide. It is not much trouble to have a program to teach Gazans how to make pasta, bread, biscuits and more out of flour. They could make it very entertaining by getting a Chinese specialist in pastamaking on. Requires no tools, just flour and water! Then, we blown up Americans and others, often have a few tomato plants. Tomatoes make all kinds of good stuff, like sauce, soup, garnish, salads, a thick slice on a sandwich. Hm, let us see. Beans, lentils, wheat, etc., etc. can sprout and be made into a veggie, or planted to grow a whole plant, with lots of food, and seed to spare. Israel does not decide what foods Palestinians need. Palestinians decide that. They can grow it, earn money in an honest job and pay for it and simply make it in their kitchen. They could also, like most people do, restrict the size of their families and how many wives they have (no more than you can afford to pay for yourself?).");
AddReply(406280,"Toothless politicians & CNN babe demanding pasta...for Gazans!!!","MED","USA","02/26/09","Lazy Gazans can very well grow their own food staples, instead of demanding easy to cook pasta & ready made tomato paste, etc.\n\nThe US State Dept. & the Democrats who visited Gaza are making these Arabs into bloated idiots just like themselves.\n\nRe.the CNN babe who posed as a reporter needs to go back to her kitchen.  Perhaps she can volunteer to cook pasta & tomato paste for the Gazans instead of being a silly reporter.  We know they are ignorant, but opening their mouth to prove it is the limit.\n\n");
AddReply(406124,"Pasta","Malka","upstate NY","02/26/09","From reading another article on A7, sugar can be used to fuel kassams. Pasta is a complex carbohydrate--complex sugar, so it\'s possible that\'s why Israel isn\'t sending pasta.\n\nRice is what the UN sends to the starving in Africa and other parts of the world. Why do the Palestinians deserve better?\n\nI can see rice and powdered milk but pasta?\n\nCNN is just trying to ridicule Israel feeling that Israelis will cave in if they\'re made fun of.\n\nBut I\'m sure it will backfire. Nobody thinks of rigatoni and lasagna as \"humanitarian\" aid for starving people.\n\nNow, if the Palestinians were to convert to Catholicism and want pasta during Lent, which just started, that would be another matter LOL.");
