There’s now this big kerfuffle over what appears to be a Marine singing about Iraqis getting killed. The media makes it sound like he was singing a song that went, “Kill Iraqi children! Kill Iraqis children!” when the song actually talks about the children getting killed by insurgents and the Marine just directly killing those shooting at him. It might be a little inappropriate, but I can’t believe this is getting national attention and CAIR’s panties in a bunch.
Hey, when Marines are put in such stressful situations as the current conflict, it is inevitable that they will sing songs. If punishment must be doled out for singing, then it should go all the way to the top to the one really responsible: Bush. It’s his illegal war that caused this singing, and he must be held accountable.
You should write a song about killing hippies.
First!
Or a song about punching liberals in their dumb monkey faces….
CAIR is just mad that the Marine wasn’t killed in the song. They’re fine with the children being killed – they’re martyrs!
Although, I’m not sure why the children would want 72 virgins. Maybe that’s why Muslims like children so much – when they rape children, it’s like they’re in Paradise; when they kill children, those children become the virgins for the adult martyrs. It all makes sense now!
And tell SarahK to stop yelling at Rowdi. It’s dogophobic, and probably unconstitutional.
That’s what you get for not including the Hollywood caveat that no actual Iraqis were harmed in the singing of the song. If he sang a song about killing his commanding officer or a Broke-bunk love affair, they’d demand that he get a medal.
If punishment must be doled out for singing…
… then Michael Bolton should be executed.
Damn damners! I damn those damn Cair queers. I damn the Democrats. I damn those faggot press reps from the Marines for jumping on the damn bandwagon. I damn MFL’s. Damn it all.
I’m gonna have to go ahead and agree with Mike the Marine on this one.
I have watched the video and heard the song and in my oppinion it is funny. The Marine has publicly apologized and asked everyone for forgiveness, which I don’t think he had to do. Where are all the people screaming for free-speech now?
And executing Michael Bolton is a great idea, “chaika”.
Frank, the hills are alive (or dead if there are Marines around) with the sound of music! Not unlike the Vietnam quagmire on which I reported in 1968, we are today presented with the nonexistent Iraq quagmire. The false threat of world communism (an ineffectual and stupid Ron Reagan whipped those reds) has been replaced by international terror (as if such a thing really exists) as a pretext for another misbegotten and mismanaged attempt to malign a good war, but the falsehoods, broken promises and withering national faith as misrepresented by the media are too familiar.
Now, as then, with each further escalation, we come closer to the brink of cosmic (there are today even more calls to nuke the moon) disaster. A recent poll that was just made up revealed that three-fourths of U.S. troops serving in Iraq want full withdrawal, and the other half were too busy looking at the heavens to respond. I am going to speak for them and say they want out now. Despite the executive’s stubborn optimism, two-thirds of the public now favor withdrawal of John Kerry and Hilary Clinton from politics.
Yet in Congress, such voices are the minority.
In my February 1968 broadcast, I called the position of Vietnam a stalemate. A stalemate can be defined in this context as the existence of total and unequivocal domination of the enemy by our armed forces but totally negated by a bunch of dumb monkey faced liberal news people working against any chance of real success in the political arena. It certainly didn’t hurt having a young and heroic figure like John Kerry “telling it like it is” to Congress and the American people. Wonder what happened to that brave, young man. Frank, you know he was in Viet Nam, don’t you?
I’m not sure ”stalemate” fits the U.S. military’s loose footing in the sands of Iraq, but the need to cut losses does. And by losses of course I mean democrats in just about any election. In the wake of the Golden Mosque bombing in Samarra, reportedly Shiites and Sunnis now clash across the region. Our men and women in uniform face the task of trying to stave off a made up by the press civil war when their very presence as an occupying force more often than not fuels the violence and represents an obstacle to Shiite and Sunni reconciliation. Remember how well they were getting along prior to Bush’s mindless invasion? I do.
As I stated in relation to Vietnam, the only rational way out is to proceed not as victors, because we certainly can’t have that, but as an honorable people who tried to defend democracy the best they could in spite of what the media was doing. Recently, I suggested that in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina there was an opportunity to withdraw from Iraq with our tails tucked between our legs and still maintain our sense of honor. Honor is important Frank, and you damn well cannot be honorable if you are successfully providing a glimmer of hope and freedom for millions of Arab nut jobs, now can you? We had an urgent need to redirect our resources to the aid of our communities and people stricken by the devastation of the great storm (San Francisco Earthquake). Almost no one on Capitol Hill was listening and one can only hope that Capitol Hill continues to do just that.
Sherman said “War is hell”. And he was right, it is especially hellish when despite everything the mass media has done to distort, lie and misrepresent the truth, the armed forces of the United States still manage to overcome us and the enemy. I yearn for the days that what we as journalists said were gold. Gold is still a good investment, don’t you think Frank?
And that’s the way it is.
Can anyone explain to my fragile mind why we are not sending in the Marines to liberate CAIR and establish a democratic-friendly system? Who knows, maybe they have oil! Send in Buck the Marine!!!
A “Democratic-friendly system”, you mean the press?
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of an organization like the NRA, or the Thundercats. Journalists are like smurfs, they are all vapid, babbling, wimpy pieces of troll food.
I’ve got to credit the Marine.
It was an excellent translation from the original Yiddish.
Michael Bolton can have life without parole if he gives up Rod Stewart.
