AR: "Now I really don't want to watch Barnett"
I'm a prejudiced kind of guy,
And I only see eye to eye
With the prejudiced kind of guy
In my mirror. I don't need to
Hear discussions, and I don't
Go in for fussin with any
Idea I don't already have.
Singing Bush ain't terribly bright
And Cheney'd give Osama a fright
And Rumsfeld don't know how to fight
And even Condi can't make them right.
And I hate those patriot freaks,
The ones who want to go to war
Just because of a couple of buildings,
Not enough to make a sane man sore,
But they've gone all redneck now
And the innocent Taliban smashed,
Then to Iraq with their tongues hanging
Out until Saddam's statue crashed,
And those gentle Iraqi soldiers
As meek and as mild as you please
Handing out girl-scout cookies
In between their I.E.D.s
Singing Bush ain't terribly bright
And Cheney'd give Osama a fright
And Rumsfeld don't know how to fight
And even Condi can't make them right.

Now I really don't want to watch Barnett.
Rumsfeld was right about what it took to win the war? Lawrence, a troop of
Girl Scouts could
have won that war! The Iraqi were totally inept, unprepared, and
unmotivated. There was no
"war". The US simply rolled in and shot up the place. They even did a
drive-by shooting in
Baghdad: a whole battalion drove through Baghdad and shot at everything and
returned to
camp. The Iraqi Army simply collapsed.
That wasn't a war in any sense.
Rumsfeld, who has zero military experience, is fascinated with technology
and action heroes.
You still haven't responsed to my question about Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld thinks
he should line up
and shoot 100 US Army generals in the Pentagon. Do you think that's a good
idea? Did Barnett
approve of this strategy as well?
