As Predicted...
Panties are twisted into knots all over the world as I type...
The witch hunt is on, any bets on how long it takes to track down the singer and serve his carcass up on a silver platter to the whiners?

A music video posted to the Internet, telling a tale about a U.S. Marine killing members of an Iraqi family, is being condemned by an Islamic group and investigated by the Marine Corps.
The four-minute video, called "Hadji Girl," appears to be sung by a Marine in front of a cheering audience. The lyrics talk about the Marine gunning down members of an Iraqi woman's family after they confront him with automatic weapons.
Lt. Col. Scott Fazekas, a spokesman for the Marines, said Tuesday that the Marines were aware of a video posted on the Internet that "purports to show a Marine singing an insensitive song about Iraqis." Fazekas said officials don't know the identity of the singer or whether he is in the military.
FOR THE REST GO HERE
UPDATE
I hate to be the wet blanket, but the more I think about it, as funny as I found that song...whoever made it should have kept it to themselves.
I guess given that I posted it as well I am as guilty as anyone in spreading something that others may find offensive and especially considering the sensitivities of some in the middle east and in the most extreme instance even counter-productive to our efforts in the GWOT.
Now that the terrorists unwitting accomplices (the media) have gotten hold of it, they are going to try to turn it into our own little music video jihad. And since members of the USMC are involved wait for the link to be established with Haditha...mark my words.
Word to the wise...keep the dark humor to yourselves out there...the world isn't ready.
