[bodytext] => Correcting data, US says terrorism incidents increased in '03 By Barry Schweid, Associated Press | June 11, 2004 WASHINGTON -- The State Department acknowledged yesterday it was wrong to report that terrorism declined worldwide last year, a finding that was used to boost one of President Bush's top foreign policy claims, success in countering terror. Instead, both the number of incidents and the toll in victims increased sharply, the department said. Statements by senior administration officials asserting success were based 'on the facts as we had them at the time; the facts that we had were wrong,' department spokesman Richard Boucher said. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/06/11/ correcting_data_us_says_terrorism_incidents_increased_in_03/ O/ Lies, lies and more lies And they wonder why we despise It seems that Bush has cooked the books To change the story and how it looks Last year they said to give him a lift Terrorism declined, now there’s a gift But now they report that was all wrong That the arrogant Bush sang a false song Terrorism actually rose and rose sharply But this is a fact reported darkly Released to be covered by Reagan’s death The timing most cynical lost in the wreath Such liars and frauds are these men Playing political psyops with you and then Hiding the truth to be covered by grief Of one of their own, another life thief Cynical ploys and political lies And still they wonder why we despise This Bush administration without pride Uses bare-faced lies they try to hide And all along sing a myth-making song While babies die who never did wrong Believing comforting lies that make you smile And don’t think of those you defile So Colin who gave us all those UN lies About Iraqi labs and munitions and other cries? What do you ask of us now about terror And about this MOST convenient error? “'I can assure you it had nothing to do with putting out anything but the most honest, accurate information we can.' Oh yes, naturally we believe you Colin, of COURSE we do! You wouldn’t try to snow us AGAIN, now would you…? ;-) [comments] => 4 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 41 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
