Array ( [sid] => 63090 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The War in Iraq [time] => 2004-09-09 06:55:58 [hometext] => more to think about --a revised edition [bodytext] => (a conflict of interests)

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."
– George W. Bush

Saudis supported
Al Quida and Taliban
with money and arms

Suadis make millions
from American business
ask Bush and Cheney

Fifteen hijackers
from Saudi Arabia
not one Iraqi

A higher power
led President Bush to war;
Gold, Oil and Dollars.

Gold, Oil and Dollars
Hussein, but not Bin Ladin
Saudis pull the strings

Saudis pull the strings
profits out weigh the ethics
invest your children

The war and the fear
of terrorism keeps people
from asking questions

Tax breaks for the rich
more debt for the middle class
nothing for the poor

Check is in the mail
Weapons of mass destruction
more lies to live by

We did not receive
credible intelligence
a fitting motto

One thousand are dead
America’s future lost
the high cost of oil.

American blood spills
Arab oil, Texas tea flows
Money in the bank

True patriotism
Loses out to politics,
business and money

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.
They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country
and our people, and neither do we.”
– George W. Bush

I like the passion and the humor in this one, a little rprejudiced towards Saudis they are puppet people just like the rest of us

Puppets of OPEC.

I assume you know that GWB and OBL are honorary brothers of the Saudi Prince?

That isn't something he's likely to be touting in his election manifesto:

Vote for me - and I'll catch my brother, this time, its for real!!

Great write. Have known G.O.D. somewhere before . . .
