Brig Gen Mark Kimmitt


O/


Even if in this case it’s true
Do you slaughter their children too?
This is no better than barbarism
What kind of people ARE you?

First we hear the lies,
no party was there
Now there is proof
Do they care?

Only that their lie was revealed
And that they were found out
No remorse is shown
Only more hatred they spout

Now we hear that Sanchez
Watched the Abu Ghraib abuse
No doubt savouring the pain
With more lies they try to confuse

They mislead the public
These were only a few!
No! This is American sadism
Through and through and through

We hear of American troops
Killing civilians at fever pitch
Blowing them apart
And throwing in a ditch

It’s no better than barbarism
And sadistic racist cant
To hear Bush and the others
In their lying rant

It wasn’t us! Oh no! For sure!
Americans don’t DO these things!
But it’s there for all to see
Americans HAVE NO angel wings

Such sanctimonious nonsense
We hear preached so much
Americans swearing to God
And it's all just for show
Keep that mythical glow
While others lie under the sod

How long will this B.S. go on?
How wonderful, how self-less, how pure!
For we see each day
American sadists and their way
It's all more U.S. MANURE

A savage barb sitting brazenly between the love dross and the god-poetry. It fairly crackles with energy and rightous indignation. Now if we could only get Samuel L Jackson to read it like his monologue in Pulp Fiction....

You're saying that the US military is killing and mass graving civilians for no reason? I remember seeing stuff on prisoner abuse but I don't remember hearing THAT on CNN.

No really, it's ok if you don't like Bush. Just don't sink down to fabricating lies about the war in Iraq.

Good stuff.

Did someone say CNN was an unbiased source of information?
