Hadji Girl
Introduction

Of course the lyrics herein presented are over the top and deeply offensive on more levels than I would care to list. They really were written by a Marine Corporal, Joshua Belile of the Marine Light/Attack Helicopter Squadron 167[1] and have stirred quite a controversy.

Belile's performece on videotape (and the streaming video I witnessed) included a hoard of cheering fellow Marines. Even though the size of the audience was unable to be determined from the video, it was my impression that a sizable number of Marines were amused by the song and heartily approved of the sentiments expressed. Is it safe to say that all these Marines were deranged "rotten apples"? If this is indeed the case, there must be a lot of them in Iraq.

I believe that this song well characterizes the callous attitude our troops have come to accept as standard operating procedure in dealings with the local "Hadjis" as they call the Iraqis.

There is an interesting background to the story of the rape of fourteen-year-old Abir Hamza, whose baby picture is shown below. Military spokesmen have denied that the incident of the beheaded and horribly mutilated American servicemen that the press found so "barbaric" may have actually been in retaliation for the rape/murder in question and the murder of her family. Right. These two guys were members of the same company (101 Airborne) that contained the squad that had all the "fun" At the house near Mahmudiayh. That's just another story they will never tell you on Fox (or ABC-CBS-NBC.)

What would you have done to those two soldiers if you believed they had been complicit in the rape of your daughter? Oops, I forgot we're not allowed to think these thoughts. We're liberals. Remember, our troops are "above the law" in Iraq, so it's not like the offended "Hadjis" can drag them before some magistrate or flag down an MP.

I see the picture of the raped 14 year old child [2] and the accompanying horrific lyrics as bookends of the ever-ripening brutal atrocity that has been our involvement in that poor country from day one. I hope that my exposing these shameful lyrics here will not cause people to accuse me of an unpatriotic depiction of the troops. Their own words/lyrics convict them. Forget that lone, deranged rotten-apple (PFC Steven Green) crap the press is trying to make out this case to be.

I guess some (me included) would say that our poor soldiers are as much victims as the poor Iraqis. It's just that an inordinate number of the members of the second group of victims (the Iraqis) are getting starved, raped, murdered and tortured while the other group (the "victims" with all the really neat weapons and the immunity) have become monsters. May the gods help us if this war does end soon and all these "monsters" come marching home. We will all be Semper F**ked then.

[1] There are plans to release Hadji Girl commercially stateside as a single by some Sirius Satellite Radio talk show retard (no offense to genuinely developmentally disabled people intended here.) I swear I am not kidding. This war and this country have gone way beyond my ability and inclination to even try to make stuff like this up.

[2] The corporate news services, even at this late date, even though they know the truth, still insist on calling her a "woman." I guess to tell the truth and call her a "child" would be offensive to more sensitive Republican viewers.

So all that said…

The lights dim, a lone spot illuminates a large black and white photograph of a beautiful innocent Iraqi child. Stage right a lone Marine in silhouette lifts his guitar and begins to sing…

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

written and performed by U.S. Marine Corporal Joshua Belile

Just what we deserve...

Speaking of getting what one deserves: 
 
My cousin Wally was a dumb kid. He was probably the person mothers had in mind when admonishing their offspring, "Just because everyone else jumps off the cliff doesn't mean that you have to." Wally would be the first one to follow the first fool off the cliff. Always a sucker for a dare, one winter he got his tongue stuck to the school flagpole, twice! Sometimes he did take the initiative, especially when there was something uniquely stupid to be done. One day he decided to see what would happen if he took a stick to a hornets' nest near the apple orchard at the end of our street. Everyone told him to watch out and leave the hornets alone. Sure enough, soon Wally was seen poking at the nest. From deep within came an angry hum that grew even louder with his second prodding. Not one to be inhibited by the dictates of common sense or caution, Wally, with a great whack, brought the whole nest down. An angry stream of mad insects erupted from the crumpled nest and headed straight for Wally. Fortunately there was a pond nearby and our hero spent the rest of the afternoon ducking and bobbing under the water to avoid the angry hornets. I thought Wally got what he deserved. All I did watch with amusement while nature took its course.  
 
Our president reminds me a lot of my cousin Wally. I think we are getting what we deserve in Iraq.  
 
I'm just watching nature take its course.
