Saudis pull the strings
profits out weigh any ethics

Haikus for Bush

Topic: Haiku

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

Gold, Oil and Dollars
Hussein, but not Ben Laden
Saudis pull the strings

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

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

We did not receive
credible intelligence
a fitting motto

"We did not receive

The combined message sent by Bush's brain cells to its creator? lol. Or simply an American's claim for the state of a president?

I'm not sure, but this was-

Haiku-tastic.
