Saddam Hussein apparently was ready to turn camels – the “ships of the desert” – into suicide zodiacs:
Saddam Hussein planned to use “camels of mass destruction” as weapons to defend Iraq, loading them with bombs and directing them towards invading forces.
The animals were part of a plan to arm and equip foreign insurgents drawn up by the dictator shortly before the American-led invasion three years ago, reveals a 37-page report, captured after the fall of Baghdad and just released by the Pentagon. It is part of a cache of thousands of documents that the United States Department of Defence says it does not have the resources to translate.
…
If the translation is correct, it suggests that many of the foreign fighters now attacking coalition forces and bombing Iraqi civilians were directly trained by the Saddam regime, although there are no known reports of camels being used in suicide attacks.
If Iraqi insurgents had used camels as platforms for explosives in suicide attacks, I’m sure PETA would have sprung into action.
Have you seen those Camel Spiders? I’d want some C-4 in my hump, too.
WMD’s: Weapons of Mass Dromedaries?
This was intended for christian camels…otherwise it would have been on CNN.
C-4? I thought the reason camels are called “ships of the desert” was because they are full of Arab seamen. At least, that’s what I’ve been told…
I’m gonna get-get-get you blowed up
Get you blowed up on my humps
my hump-my hump-my humps
The “insurgents” did use a suicide donkey a couple years back.
Son of a–! American pig-dogs! You have discovered our plot! Submersible camels piloted up the Potomac River by valiant members of our elite AquaCamel Strike Team were to crash into the White House… (and three tan houses as well as that ugly aquamarine home on 42nd St…)
Yes you accursed and despised sons of sand fleas! We were to put Operation NotStupidEnoughForNetworkNews into action at 3pm today… just as soon as our trained hordes of UNdocumented workers finished swarming across the Mexican border and began digging the canal from the riverside to Pennsylvania Avenue…. Damn you! Damn you all!
Can you imagine the look on Osama’s face when the red paint started flying?!
