   ....and the haters have the [1]Marines in their sights. What they
   don't seem to realize is, Marines don't quit, don't surrender and
   don't take prisoners. (For you literal bozos, this is a figure of
   speech.)
   A cartoonist for the Arizona Republic created a cartoon that slanders
   the entire Marine Corps. Here's my letter to the editor, which I
   seriously doubt they will publish.

     Republic cartoonist Steve Benson's disgusting cartoon smearing the
     entire Marine Corps reveals not only his foul bias but his complete
     ignorance of the facts as well. He would do well to remember that
     the freedom of speech he so blithely exploits was bought and paid
     for with the blood of many thousands of Marines.
     Slandering the entire Corps to make a point about an isolated
     incident, the investigation of which is not even complete, is the
     work of a dishonest hack whose work is not worthy of publication in
     the Arizona Republic.

   The Arizona Republic should be flooded with letters, and Benson should
   be fired.
   In a separate instance, C.A.I.R. (sorry, I don't link to liars) has
   started [2]an email campaign that is based entirely upon lies about
   the Marines.

     We have not been able to determine if the singer in the video is
     indeed a Marine, but CAIR seriously and intentionally misrepresents
     the song as a celebration of gratuitous violence against Iraqi
     civilians.
     âHadji Girlâ is a ballad about a Marine firefight in Iraq.
     In the heat of battle a young girl appears out of nowhere and
     invites this Marine to meet her family. She is leading him into an
     ambush but he doesnât know it. When the two of them arrive at her
     home, the girlâs father and brother open fire, the Marine hits the
     ground and the girl is killed by her brother and fatherâs gunfire -
     âthrew open the door and I hit the floor âcause her brother and
     father shot her.â The girlâs father and brother are still intent on
     killing the Marine so he grabs the girlâs sister and the brother
     and father then proceed to gun her down also in their haste to kill
     the Marine.
     The Marine then âlocks and loadsâ stating he âblew those little
     f*ckers to eternity."
     So the song is about a young woman luring a Marine into an ambush
     where she and her sister are killed by her jihadi father and
     brother, who in turn are killed with great justification by the
     Marine.

   If there was any question about CAIR's Islamofacist bias, it's been
   eliminated.
