#5 Three hundred trucks tried to sneak dates and olive oil across the Iraqi border without the proper paperwork? Who knew smuggling groceries was so profitable?

#6 "Yes, effendi. Dates. Pineapples. Cluster, er...grapes. All in plastique cartons. Papers, effendi? Yes, yes. I just picked them up from my Pakistani...um, business partner."

#7 Lol! What we have here is a clash of ~~civilizations~~ centuries. They've been doing this smuggling shit since before there was hair and now, well, there are these inconvenient non-Arabs who aren't playing the time-honored game. Some people change - and some definitely don't.

Oh, and they've smuggled arms & such in those olive oil and date shipments across all those centuries, as well.

#8 Match each driver with the truck they drove, then inspect every load. When stuff like arms and/or ammo is found, haul up the responsible driver, give him ten lashes, and point him in the direction of Damascus and administer a nice, swift kick in the ass to get him going on his trip home, with a warning never to return, lest he never see the sands of home again.
