I agree, since "towel head" and "camel jockey" are perfectly good substitutes.

Bonus points for whoever can name the movie where that quote came from!

Back on topic, tho. The worse thing I heard anyone over there call insurgents was "hadji". "Woodchips" was also used, but not really often, and usually in intel sections for some reason (carry over from the Soviets).
