Damn, it just keeps getting worse (from the Pentagon and news sources).

What's next? This?

Commander: Marine, you are being discharged for conduct unbecoming a Marine.
Marine: What did I do?
Commander: The insurgent that was shooting at you? The one that shot you in the leg? You didn't give him a chance to finish his religious morning prayers before you shot him. That's a violation of his rights, so you're outta here.

Sorry bastards.

CAIR, the Pentagon, and all the media playing into this one honestly WANT the U.S. to lose. They seriously desire that the insurgents win. They should all be shot.

I wrote a letter to the Orlando Sentinel and got a response from CAIR. It is also on their Washington, DC website. If you are interested, mine is at:

Read the 3/27 post first, then the 3/30 one. Plese let me know what you think of their response.

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget: “Taqiyya”

Sounds like that unintelligable bit says "everybody's favorite Burger King..."

I really don't understand why this video has stirred any sort of "uproar." I'm admittedly not a supporter of Bush or of this war, but I do support the Troops and all they go through for America. And these lyrics, when read in their entirety, in context, certainly aren't offensive, nor do they glorify killing "innocents" in any way.

But then, people love to pull something out, twist a little, bend it to the left/right, and make a stink...

It's bullshit that the guy had to apologize, utter bullshit.

Burger King? Huh. I suppose... ?

And yes, there is nothing wrong with this one. It absolutely infuriates me because those who come down on this Marine are actively working against the US in this war -- and some are in the Pentagon.

Someone at LGF transcribed the lyris here:

Which may or may not be more accurate.

Cool, I didn't see those, that's why I tried to do it myself. I think everyone agrees with the "Burger King" line now, though.

I didn't think the lyrics were bad. This is the version I read at LGF...what's so bad about it?
If anything it's honest. Just because CAIR doesn't like it doesn't mean this Marine has to pay a price. Darn. Why the Marines???? Why are they picking on them so much?

your lyrics aren't exactly right

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 thing that 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"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"
Hadji girl I can't understand what you're saying.

And she said, "Durka, durka, Mohammed Jihad"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"
Hadji girl I love you anyway.

Then she said that she wanted me to see
She wanted me to go 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 shot her.
"Durka, durka Mohammed Jihad"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"

They pulled out their AKs so I could see.
And they said, "Durka, durka Mohammed Jihad"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"

So 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

Then I hid behind the TV and I
Locked and loaded my M-16
I blew those little f***ers to eternity

And I said, "Durka, durka Mohammed Jihad"
"Shirpa, shirpa Bacalav"
They should have known they were f***ing with a Marine

Those are the correct lyrics.

Durka, Turban, what's the difference?

Thanks for stopping along.

Why, Raven? Because he's a Marine. That makes him EVIL in the media's eyes. They honestly hate the military and everything they stand for, no matter what they might claim.

Great Tune exemplifying outstanding American spirit. While standing in harms way, this young Marine afforded his cadre a much appreciated piece of humor. Though I have not earned the right to say it: HooYah!

As for all the weak kneed, hollow chested, left leaning, neigh sayers out there: If you strongly believe in your position, I strongly urge you going to the Middle East. Enter Iraq and join with those you 'say' you support. Then you will truly understand the nature of these people. If they allow you to live long enough for the thought to make it through your flawed consciousness. As a group you are, in my most humble opinion, gutless finger pointers with a callous disregard for reality.

Well said, Hue.

And it's a really catchy tune, too. I've been humming it all day.

the difference between turban and durka is that "durka" is a word used in the comedy Team America & South Park and he was specifcally playing off that running joke

Aha! I didn't know that. Thanks for the insight!!!

The line does go "durka durka," like they did in Team America: World Police. However, nobody has posted the correct line after the second time he says "and I hit the floor." After having listened to the song a number of times, it is evident that the line is "her brother and her father shouted," not "shot her"

I thought it was "shouted" the first time I heard it -- but I'm not sure where the blood came from if they didn't shoot her.

i hope someone kills your family and writes a funny ass song about it and posts it on the net and then tell me its not offensive in any way ... :D mwahh!

Ah, the left shows it's ugly face again. Hey RobertP, Amber is on YOUR side.
