CAIR: 'Marines' Cheer Song About Killing Iraqi Civilians
Song's Lyrics: 'I Blew Those Little F**kers to Eternity'
WASHINGTON, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR) today called on the Pentagon and Congress to investigate a
music video posted on the Internet that seems to show U.S. Marines cheering
a song that glorifies the killing of Iraqi civilians.
CAIR said the four-minute video, called "hadji girl," purports to be a
"marine in Iraq singing a song about hadji." (A "Hajji" is a person who has
made the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, but the term has often been used as a
pejorative by U.S. troops in Iraq.) The song, posted online in March, tells
of a U.S. Marine's encounter with an Iraqi woman. It has been viewed by
almost 50,000 people.
The song's lyrics include: "I grabbed her little sister and put her in
front of me. As the bullets began to fly, the blood sprayed from between
her eyes, and then I laughed maniacally ... I blew those little f**kers to
eternity ... They should have known they were f**king with the Marines."
Members of the audience, not shown in the video, laughed and cheered wildly
for these lyrics.

Comments apparently posted by other military personnel express approval
for the song's contents. One comment states: "This makes me happy to be a
Marine. But look out! Here comes the rest of the country to call us evil!"
Other comments criticize the video as racist.
"Given the recent allegations that U.S. Marines massacred Iraqi
civilians in Haditha and other areas, we need to determine if this video is
what it purports to be," said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. "The
inappropriate actions of a few individuals should not be allowed to tarnish
the reputation of all American military personnel."
Awad called on Pentagon officials and members of Congress to
investigate the video and all other allegations of such conduct in Iraq.

Oh, shyte. Didn't have the chance to download it, or send the link to any of my buddies before it got taken offline. Bloody killjoys. If anybody has the file on their computer, would they be kind enough to send it to me so that I might send it on to some of my former colleagues in 2 CMBG HQ & Sig Sqn? Seriously, I hope somebody has, unlike myself, had the foresight to save this thing on their computer.

Man these guys are in a dangerous and stress full situation and serving there country over seas , and now they cant even make a joke about it in a song . Its a sad day for democracy when something like this happens . I guess freedom of speech only applies for certain people . Sorry about the rant folks just my two cents worth
You can see the video at the LittleGreenFootballs article with details about the CAIR furor.

This is the song that CAIR has spoken out against and the USMC bowing to the pc police have also condemned the song. The Marines have a right to their humor as they face these people every day.

Words:
Hadji Girl
I was out in the sands of Iraq
And we were under attack
And I, well, I didn't know where to go.
And the first think I could see was
Everybody's favorite Burger King
So I threw open the door and I hit the floor.
Then suddenly to my surprise
I looked up and I saw her eyes
And I knew it was love at first sight.
And she said
Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
Hadji girl I can't understand what you're saying.
And she said
Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
Hadji girl I love you anyway.
Then she said that she wanted me to see.
She wanted me to meet her family
But I, well, I couldn't figure out how to say no.
Cause I don't speak Arabic.
So, she took me down an old dirt trail.
And she pulled up to a side shanty
And she threw open the door and I hit the floor.
Cause her brother and her father shouted
Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
They pulled out their AKs so I could see
And they said
Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
So I grabbed her little sister and pulled her in front of me.
As the bullets began to fly
The blood sprayed from between her eyes
And then I laughed maniacally
Then I hid behind the TV
And I locked and loaded my M-16
And I blew those little f***ers to eternity.
And I said
Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
They should have known they were f***ing with a Marine

If the song hits the mainstream top 40 then it is time to take notice. Until then take it for what it is -
a black humour coping mechanism for those in stressful situations rather than an indication of evil intent.
Judging by the background laughter it appears to have accomplished that objective of giving its audience, the troops in the line, a much needed laugh to take the edge off. What are they supposed to sing in similar circumstances, Qumbaya?
Thanks for posting it & Semper Fi to the singer and his audience.

You really had to figure that this was going top happen, all it is a little moral booster; however, it just seems like the marines are just having "poop" hit the fan all at once.
