Bomb Iraq

[franki]

Quote from unknown:
\"

Sung to the tune: \"If You\'re Happy And You Know It, Clap Your Hands\"

If we cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets hurt your Mama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are Saudi
And the bank takes back your Audi
And the TV shows are bawdy,
Bomb Iraq.

If the corporate scandals growin\', bomb Iraq.
And your ties to them are showin\', bomb Iraq.
If the smoking gun ain\'t smokin\'
We don\'t care, and we\'re not jokin\'.
That Saddam will soon be croakin\',
Bomb Iraq.

Even if we have no allies, bomb Iraq.
From the sand dunes to the valleys, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections;
Let\'s look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.

While the globe is slowly warming, bomb Iraq.
Yay! the clouds of war are storming, bomb Iraq.
If the ozone hole is growing,
Some things we prefer not knowing.
(Though our ignorance is showing),
Bomb Iraq.

So here\'s one for dear! old daddy, bomb Iraq,
From his favorite little laddy, bomb Iraq.
Saying \'no\' would look like treason.
It\'s the Hussein hunting season.
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

I thought it would be fun

and interesting to bump this thread three years later, with the benefit of hindsight.

I especially enjoyed the

poem and Whitehall's replies (I enjoy Whitehall as a clear example of a hawkish, PNAC-type position very different

from mine. He's not afraid to come out and say it.). It's also interesting to read people who aren't in the

forum any more.

BTW, for those who imagine from recent posts that I am a "partisan", political person by history,

notice who didn't post in this humongous thread, until bumping it just now!

This was typical of my

apolitical behavior on the forum up through this time; until I figured out what mayhem the Bush administration was

really up to. After that, my mind and integrity would not allow me to stay "unbiased", and I began posting

"political" stuff.
