Terrorists Who Suck

I can imagine the conversation went something like this:

Ahmed: Praise Allah! There is a convoy of heavily armed US Marines! We must shoot at them and make them mad.
Mohamed: Ahmed they are very strong and we only have these puny rifles.
Ahmed: Don't worry. We will hide in that house. Derka Derka
Mohamed: Derka Derka

The bad guys still haven’t learned. They are now camel spider food.
