Somali Islamists offer 10 camels as bounty for Obama - Polidicks

[quote](CNN) -- The United States offers millions for information leading to the capture of the world's most wanted terrorists. A Somali militant group has purportedly countered with an offer of camels for U.S. officials. Al-Shabaab has placed a bounty of 10 camels for President Barack Obama and two camels for information on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. An audio statement posted on jihadist websites purportedly from Al-Shabaab jeered news that the United States is offering millions of dollars for information on seven key members of al-Shabaab through its Rewards for Justice program. The battle against al-Shabaab in Somalia New push against militants in Somalia The man on the audio claimed to be Fuad Mohamed Khalaf, considered by the State Department to be Al-Shabaab's leading fundraiser. The United States has offered $5 million for information of his whereabouts. "Whoever brings the mujahidin information about the whereabouts of infidel Obama and the lady of Bill Clinton, the woman named Hillary Clinton, I will give a reward," the man said. A study by Galkayo University, which looked at the effects of drought on livestock, said the average cost of a camel in Somalia is $700. CNN can not independently verify the authenticity of the audio recording, which was purportedly made by Khalaf during a speech to followers in the southern port city of Merca. The U.S. State Department's Rewards for Justice program is offering $7 million for information on the location of Ahmed Abdi Aw-Mohamed, the founder of the Islamist group in Somalia. This year, he and al Qaeda's leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, released a joint video formally announcing a merger between the terror groups. In announcing the bounties on Mohamed and his key associates Thursday, the State Department called al-Shabaab "a threat to the stability of East Africa and to the national security interests of the United States." The State Department said it is also offering up to $5 million each for information leading to the location of four of Aw-Mohamed's associates, including Khalaf. In addition, it is offering up to $3 million each for two of the terror group's other leaders.[/quote] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/09/world/africa/somalia-al-shabaab-bounties/index.html?hpt=hp_t2[/url]

Ten whole camels? I do really need those camels...

Wow that dwarfs even the richest man in the worlds fortune, Carlos Slim, who has only 7 camels.

Oh man, that's a ton of camels man

who can resist

What they don't tell you is that they either have to choose 10 camels over the course of 10 years, or one lump sum of 7 camels.

I can finally open my magic camel zoo land.

They could even market it as 40 camel toes! im bad.

Brb getting a ticket to the US.

Cheap bastards, the father of a (girl) friend of mine got offered 32 camels when he went to egypt in exchange for her hand in marriage :v: (he declined it of course)

[QUOTE=DeanWinchester;36261432]Cheap bastards, the father of a (girl) friend of mine got offered 32 camels when he went to egypt in exchange for her hand in marriage :v: (he declined it of course)[/QUOTE] And inheritance tax! When you try to pass the camels on down to your kids they take like 25% of your camels! Absurd!

[QUOTE=mac338;36261422]Don't forget camel tax.[/QUOTE] For every camel you get with two humps, the government takes one hump. [editline]9th June 2012[/editline] "and two camels for information on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton" Two camels for information? Brb, telling them she's a female American who lives in the US Damn, that's six camels alone :v:

[QUOTE=evlbzltyr;36261354]Brb getting a ticket to the US.[/QUOTE] No, they replaced the tickets with wrist stamps.

I'm 99% certain that the offer is literally a joke. Consider the quote: [quote]"Whoever brings the mujahidin information about the whereabouts of infidel Obama and the lady of Bill Clinton, the woman named Hillary Clinton, I will give a reward,"[/quote] It's framed exactly like the American promises of rewards for 'information about the whereabouts of [x]'. They already know where Obama is, they don't need information about his whereabouts.

Wow. I mean he's the president and all... but [I]10[/I] whole camels?

Hmm...that is a good offer...can we sleep with the camels?

[QUOTE=Daddy-of-war;36264563]Hmm...that is a good offer...can we sleep with the camels?[/QUOTE] They would be your camels to do with as you please

[QUOTE=E1025;36264450]Wow. I mean he's the president and all... but [I]10[/I] whole camels?[/QUOTE] That's like [I]ten[/I] ones!

You guys really aren't taking inflation into account. Sure, 10 camels might seem good now, but camels have been falling in value since the great hump bubble of '06. By 2014 10 camels will be worth a measly 4 chickens.

The exchange rate of camels to goats is rising though, so you'd better kidnap Obama soon.

They've probably never ever seen any Americans, let alone know about their history or culture well enough to know about the White House.

it must be horribly soul crushing to see your cause laughed at by western media.

[QUOTE=phobia-_-;36264577]They would be your camels to do with as you please[/QUOTE] I do like camel spit on my dick...

I wonder what camel tastes like.. [editline]9th June 2012[/editline] Can you milk camels?

Yep, you can milk camels, the milk is pretty watery and very low in lactose, though.

It's equally as ridiculous as the cash reward, it won't work on big figureheads

[QUOTE=TamTamJam;36265196]I wonder what camel tastes like.. [editline]9th June 2012[/editline] Can you milk camels?[/QUOTE] You can milk just about anything with nipples.
