Enemy of the State

It is somewhat relieving to know that the Marine Corps still has many people in its midst who have retained their common sense.

The Center for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) recently feigned outrage over a video of a song written and performed by Cpl Joshua Belile, which was posted on YouTube.com. The song is simply a satirical look at a pretend battle in Iraq, where Iraqi civilian look-alikes sporting AK-47s lured a Marine away from fire and tried to kill him. The Marine, correctly looking to preserve his life, used the woman who lured him into the trap for cover and quickly dispatched those firing at him.

Good riddance. The good guys win, right?

In response to CAIR's outrage, YouTube removed the "offensive" video (leaving all manner of vulgar and America-bashing videos intact) and subsequent attempts to repost it. Had one listened to CAIR's willing allies in the press, casual observers of the passing scene would have been left with the impression that Marines seek out and kill innocent Iraqi civilians.

Enough already. Thank goodness for the alternative media like HotAir.com, which has posted the video in its entirety, with lyrics, to show exactly how stupid all this outrage really is.

CAIR is an enemy of the state who spews more venom over videos of fictional songs that satirically depict the right people dying and the right people staying alive than they do about Muslim fanatics sawing off the heads of actual civilians.

While Cpl Belile was quickly cleared of any wrongdoing (which accounts for the remaining common sense), at least one Marine involved with the investigation claimed the song was "insensitive" and "offensive," but not illegal.

Excuse me, but since when do the warriors of this country owe our enemies any sensitivity whatsoever? And since when does the Marine Corps jump at every accusation leveled at Marines by organizations whose leadership over the years has supported terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Al Qaeda?

If the Corps has any desire to retain Marines with combat experience as time goes on, they will start taking up for them when they come under the attack of the likes of Al-CAIRda.
