Chemical, Biological, and Dromedariological Weapons

I keep forgetting to apologize to everyone on the right for being skeptical of their claims about Saddam's deadly weapons caches, now that it's been revealed the not only did he have them, but they were mobile.

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 [...]

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".

As infrequent contributor Cosmo says: "Perhaps you're not considering the substantial advantage that these walking bombs WOULD NOT NEED TO STOP FOR WATER FOR QUITE A WHILE ON THEIR JOURNEY OF DEATH. And if you thought you needed any more proof that iraq was somehow complicit in 9/11, well here it is (although their original plan was a more high tech solution: segways with bombs heading for significant U.S. sites!)."

This is going to get a whole lot more fun before we're through, I gather.
