Seriously, I wonder what was the projected port of entry of those
imported fertilizers.. I have already pointed that importing fertilizer
is a sure way to enable not-so-terror attacks against US yards and bases
(someone here pointed to me the layout of the Road around Norfolk, and
is appalling)

Best regards from Italy,
