“If they get hit with LR Syrian rockets - damascas will likely get nuked - Israel has few other options if a rocket blitzkreig opens up.”

Agree...Very tender times we are in.

Most Beautiful Camels Seek Top Prize in Desert Pageant

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — It is the Arab world’s answer to the Westminster Dog Show — a camel beauty pageant. Nearly 20,000 one-humped hopefuls are about to compete for the coveted title of most attractive camel in the world.

The drop-dead dromedaries are judged on such characteristics as ear curvature, nose shape and glossiness of coat. Prizes range from brand new Range Rovers to more than $10 million in cash.

Owners, hoping to curry favor with the judges, act like nervous stage moms, painstakingly grooming their camels, adorning them with bright national flags and rhinestone harnesses.

“Camels are a part of our culture, and this is a chance to celebrate their beauty and make some money at the same time,” said Salem Ebrahim Al Mazrouei, Director of Operations for the festival, which is sponsored by the oil-rich United Arab Emirates.
