Iraq becomes Operation Sitting Duck
Miami Herald 12-1-03
A few days ago, two American soldiers in Iraq were shot, dragged from a
truck and viciously beaten with concrete blocks. Their bodies were left on a
dusty street in Mosul, a city once considered one of the safest for U.S.
forces.
The murder and mutilation was carried out not by hardened operatives of al
Qaeda, but by a gang of Iraqi teenagers, the very generation for whom we've
been battling to ''liberate'' the country.... |

Twas the night before Thanksgiving
Twas the night before Thanksgiving
Year two thousand and three.
The president left for Iraq,
Amidst much secrecy.
He left unannounced;
They lied to the Press.
How they kept it from leaking,
Is anyone's guess.
On the way to the airport,
I've heard it said that
He was not recognizable..
Just a 'Cat' in a hat.
They Traveled through the night
While others were asleep,
Leaving Uncle Dick at home,
Tending their 'sheep'.
He called Baghdad from the air
To see if all was safe & Sound.
Otherwise he was ready
To 'turn that baby round'.
Landing without lights
In case there was trouble.
Shrub was admittedly afraid,
Though he travels 'in a bubble,'
He stayed a couple hours
Putting aside his 'fear';
He served mashed potatoes,
And squeezed out a tear.
Then laying his finger
Aside of his nose,
Gave a signal to his pilot
And Air Force One rose.
The trip was over,
Bush's relief was felt
Safe..with another photo-op
Under his belt.
They got him back to Texas,
Jumping through the hoops..
'Bring Em On', said Bubble-Boy,
"I did it for the Troops".

The president should have gone to
Iraq during Thanksgiving. My only regret is that he didn't stay there.

Bush's Last Minute Pardon
for Thanksgiving
Oh, What A Mis'rable Failure (sing
to "Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin')
There's a right wingnut based in the White House.
End that right wingnut's stay in the White House.
His lies are piled high as an elephant's eye,
And it looks like they're climbin' clear up to the sky.
Oh what a mis'rable failure.
Dubya, great pal of Ken Lay.
Stop all his lies. Tell him, "Up yours!"
Dump Georgie Bush. Make my day
Let us battle to land in the White House.
Oust that cattle-less hat from the White House.
He makes me see red as he preens and implies
That he's chosen by God and a really nice guy.
