| Haji and Muji's Excellent Adventure: Uncle Naji's Mercedes |
| 2008-06-12 |
| Hi boss, this is Haji, Muji and I are going to be late for work tomorrow. We took your advice and went to Al-Hose-ni's Car Wash and Camel Grooming Center to get Uncle Naji's Mercedes detailed. It is a real good place with absolutely no brushes. They washed the car from bumper to bumper. They used only natural Camel Dung sponges and they used recycled water that would have normally gone to the broken Treatment Plant. It's a real "Green" operation, or should I say 'Brown". After we finished we still had some time to kill so we went to the Farouk Up Towne Outlet Mall. We found a great parking place way in the back next to the Damascus Dumpster, a real low nick factor parking slot. There was a funny pointed sign with Infidel graffiti on it. Do you know what "Route Tampa Detour" means? In the Mall we checked out the Factory Outlet for Suicide Vests. You know, unless you look real close you don't notice the missing ball bearings or broken wires. Muji wanted to cruise the windows at Fatima Secret, he gets turned on looking at the mannequins dressed in push up Burqas. We stopped by Kabob Bell for for a quick bite and then returned to the car. Well, I can tell you we were really pissed. That detail job we got at Al-Hose-ni's did not last. |

| #8 While Haji isn't very bright, Uncle Naji is REALLY stoopid. He must have been one of Saddam's favorites to have so much cash on hand, though... |

| #7 My understanding is that these are the vehicles of bad men. Perhaps suicide bombers or their families. Instead of bulldozing their house with the attendant negative domestic publicity we flatten the car. If we just liberated the car, the message would be lost. But when the flattened vehicle is out in front of the house for a few months till Nuji's metal recycling can pick it up it's a reminder to everyone what happens to bad people. |

| #5 How about giving the cars to needy families who have helped the Coalition. /I know way to practical and way less fun.. Flat Mercedes works for me also. |

| #4 G'More - I don't doubt that there's a reason, but wonder, particularly when its an MB or similar, whether there's not a better idea - say a retrieval, salvage and resale operation for some locals and an NGO or two, to reclaim and export targeted vehicles. Would be a curious way to employ locals as repo crews, with the assorted local intelligence that would generate all by itself. Also, some of these videos are very old - perhaps the results of initial combat circumstances, and present practices are more, um, administratively regularized. |

| #3 I know it looks like fun, but is there any other reason for these car crushings? Does not seem the best way to win friends and influence people. |

| #2 Just how many cars does Uncle Naji have, anyway? And why does he keep lending them to Haji? |
