&gt; oblique dancing around<p>That part was a joke and also to
soften the point of the old
claim that the US gave Israel
plutonium for Israel&#x27;s plutonium
nuke bombs.<p>For the <i>joke</i>, my post was 
to suggest that the OP was
an &quot;oblique dancing around&quot;
way for Israel to remind
its enemies that, according
to the old story, it got
plutonium for bombs from
a deliberate US <i>accounting
error</i> from an effort in
Pennsylvania.  Since the
old story and also, with my
conjecture, the OP were
&quot;oblique dancing around&quot;,
so was my post.<p>I thought that nearly everyone
on HN would have known
the old story that the US
gave Israel the plutonium
they needed -- heck, that
old story was even in the
movie <i>The Sum of All Fears</i>.
Looks like much of the HN
community would have
missed the point in the movie
also.  Apparently the movie
makers also over estimated
the historical knowledge of the
HN audience.<p>Got it now?
