From Syria to Hezbollah, scud missiles. So there was a weapons transfer to a group that is a pretty known terrorist group. They're not all part of this deal. So even if you could trust Russia, which I don't and which we have no historic reason to trust, what happens to the other nations when you make these deals, especially when you're not going to develop more missile defense? There is another thing we're not supposed to develop either--and I really appreciate my good friend from Utah for joining us, Congressman Bishop. You have provided really good detail, particularly on that industrial base aspect. Thanks for the ``bag of nails'' explanation. You know, with regard to details, I do remember there was something about the German tank corps being unstoppable except for there was some problem. They didn't have the right type of spare fuel tank or something, and it was a big problem because they hadn't gotten the right kind of gas can to go along with their tanks. It was some small detail. I yield.
