Iraq Surge Researched
Men in blue serge suits
Tell sergeants at arms
"Bring order to Iraq:
Send more canon fodder."
A surge force rises higher,
much higher, toweringly so,
A tsunami in neo-commitment -
But is a 10% hike a surge?
No. That's spin doctors
Mouthing words, mimicry -
Letting words rise higher;
Feverish madness drools.
Generals opposed a surge;
but politics trumps tactics -
For a fix to avoid defeat -
In opposing public opinion.
Intelligence is again fixed
To fit the pretentious Bush
To be conqueror and king
Overrule resistance by fiat.
A gambler will throw in all,
Every last cent that he has,
Hoping always to beat odds,
Vainly squandering fortunes.
