    How many camels is that?
    To use a line from the movie black hawk down there is a lot of camel debt in Somalia, but this is streaching it a little far. BO is only worth ten camels.I suppose kenyans aren't worth what they used to be
    Somali Islamists offer 10 camels as bounty for Obama - CNN.com

    How can you fight a people whose medium of exchange is a camel? What I want to say is Australia has a large camel population and I'm sure we could make a better bid without breaking the camel bank. This might be a novel way of solving Somalia's problems, flood the place with camels and reduce the value of a camel to nothing. It is a win - win plan. On the other hand we could contribute some camels to BO's campaign funds. Oh wait, we wouldn't be allowed to do that, it would be a foreign campaign contribution. Tell you what, we will give you one hundred camels and no questions asked

    There's a joke in that somewhere. But I better not . When it comes to Obama jokes ,there is a very fine line over what is appropriate .
    Don Rickles Tells Obama Racial Joke At AFI's Shirley MacLaine Tribute

    Best guess is that they are not talking about the animal camel

    Edit:
    And for the record.. My response is that I have a hell fire missile on which I've painted 10 camels to deliver to them.

    Is that packs of camels? Used to be said it was the only cigarette with a picture of the factory on the packet but back to the past the camels are coming

    I hear camels are very valuable... especially fast ones that can compete in the camel races. http://media.web.britannica.com/eb-m...4-C849C1BB.jpg

    They may be over paying .

    I don't think the pair of them are worth camel spit . Basic math.. 1 camel = 7.2 virgins.

    Really, this must by why there is a shortage of martyrs these days, you wouldn't want to arrive in Muslim heaven and find your prize is ten camels
