There was a thread about "giant spiders" in Irag about a year ago. They are really a species of scorpion but are called "camel spiders." They are huge and ugly but not poisonous. Our guys just had to make sure every morning that these things were not napping in their boots.

Giant Spiders? BIG DEAL! The U.S. has GIANT CATS to combat them! Check this one out attacking an alligator! LOL! I'll volunteer for the Giant Cat Detachment. I'll bring a leaf rake for administering ear scratchies.

Somebody needs to loosen his turban!!!!
We need to send him an application to work for the DNC. He plainly has about as much of a grasp on reality as they do.
Maybe they can get him a little cubicle right next to "Baghdad Bob".
I hear "Bob"'s been a big contributer to Kerry's speeches.

These people have been listening to the DNC and Err America waaaaayyyyyyyy too much. Someone needs to douse them with cold water and give them a reality check. They're just getting weird and creepy . . . . kind of like Terry McAuliffe.

Sheik Mahdi Saleh Al-Sumide'i spoke to Syrian TV on Monday, claiming several Arab television stations videotaped the helpful arachnids. It's all true! Al-Jazeera showed footage of the spiders' attack on a US Army motorcycle convoy outside the town of Fallujah...

Us Texicans are used to them tarantulas especially this time of year when they migrate. I normally stop to help them across the road when I see one. They're scary looking but harmless.

My grandson's father is in Iraq right now with the Marines. His buddy wrote us recently and said the spiders are really not a problem (as someone said above, they're generally harmless). But there are some really nasty bees there. He called them "bees on steroids".

The spiders might be the 'Black Widows', females like the Chechnyan women on the two Russian plane crashes and the woem that strapped bombs to themselves at the Moscow Theater.
Black widows are spiders.
