Hand out magical umbrellas to every citizen in an area at-risk of a
scud launch.
One of those Sundays with no good movies to watch.
In case you don't know, a magical umbrella is differentiated from a
normal umbrella by the sacred symbols that are printed on the canopy.

I fucking hate gratuitous emoticons. Why don't you go back to
alt.cuddle where you belong, eh?

Saddam planned to deploy 'camels of mass destruction'
By James Langton
(Filed: 26/03/2006)
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.
Earlier this month, the Pentagon released copies in the original Arabic onto
the internet in the hope that others would interpret them into English.
Handwritten on official paper, one of the reports appears to be a road map
for the insurgency, with detailed instructions for training what it calls
suicide bombers.
In the memo, they are described as "estishehadeyeen", Arabic for suicide
martyrs, and would almost certainly have been foreign volunteers.
The memo details a training commission to be headed by senior officers,
including a colonel from the "Directory of Political Orientation". Their
job, says the report, was to "prepare a very intensive training course", "to
raise the physical fitness and train in the use of Kalashnikovs and hand
grenades".
It continues: "The largest section of the course will be specialised to
focus on using the explosive material in the body, in motorcycle, in cars,
and in camels". Camels will be "provided by the Directory of General
Military Intelligence".
The memo also reveals the incredible bureaucracy that underpinned Saddam's
Iraq. Rifles and hand grenades were to be provided by a Department of
Armament and Equipping, explosives by the Directory of Military Engineering
and "religious sermons that emphasise jihad'' by the Directory of Political
Orientation and the Religious Scholars.
The papers have been translated by Arabic-speaking members of Free Republic,
a conservative internet discussion forum that believes the documents will
justify British and American claims that Saddam had made Iraq a haven for
terrorists.
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.
