Bush has declared turning points and milestones in the war before. He called it
"an important milestone" when a temporary governing council was formed in July
2003 and "a turning point" when sovereignty was turned over to the interim
government in June 2004. Elections in January 2005, he said, were both "a
turning point in the history of Iraq" and "a milestone in the advance of
freedom."

He called it a "milestone" in October when Iraqi voters approved a constitution
and "a major milestone" two months later when they elected a parliament -- a
moment he also termed "a turning point in the history of Iraq, the history of
the Middle East and the history of freedom." The selection of a prime minister
last month was "an important milestone toward our victory in Iraq" and, a week
later, "a turning point for the Iraqi citizens."

If you turn enough times, you go in a circle.
It follows, logically, G Bush is a circle jerk.

It's tiring, I know, to see him as pantomime
in a panty raid, panting, for lacy underwear
to be tossed out like leis to circle his neck --
Better than a noose, he thinks, jerking off,
shooting his juicy wads of political capitals,
his mandates and his mandrakes, mandamus!

Yet, he's out there, a target begging to be hit,
and a day without a lob at Bush is a sick one:
you have to stay in form, informed, and puke:
yes, just puke your guts out at his perversions,
you can't let his poison stay in your system,
because, sooner or later, the toxins kill you.

Politics doesn't stop when you become sick:
it becomes sick when you don't fight back --
as you let quack doctors experiment on you,
perform their perversions without any protest,
as if consenting to their invasions of your body:
the psychopaths daily tell their lies, without fail.
