SO --- 15 DAYS IN JANUARY + 28 DAYS IN FEBRUARY + 8 DAYS IN MARCH = ONLY 51 DAYS FROM START TO FINISH !!!

Obviously, a DEAL was made! Supposedly WE had a good reason for helping the victim, KUWAIT, so an INVASION was OKAY then! GEE, way back then, it was all about OIL --- and it was OKAY! MONEY – MONEY – MONEY – MONEY !!! “ LIQUID GOLD! “

Instead of capturing the BAD GUY and throwing his ARSE in prison THEN, the civilized WORLD MADE A DEAL – AND IT WAS OKAY!

Way back then, about FIFTEEN AND A HALF YEARS AGO, I wrote a poem, entitled “DESPOT’S DEMISE.” Although I sent it to several television and radio stations, and posted it on the internet --- NO ONE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED IT, let alone repeated or printed it! WHY?

Could it be that the “political climate” wasn’t quite ready for “PRIME TIME” yet? He was just a ‘bad little boy’ so we ‘slapped him on the wrist’ and said:
“Now, now, don’t do that NO MO!”

THEN 9-1-1 HAPPENED! After the shock, we waited a year and a half before doing anything – then we found our bruised TESTICLES!

PASTED FROM WICKIPEDIA:

"The 2003 invasion of Iraq, codenamed "Operation Iraqi Freedom" by the United States, officially began on March 20, 2003. The stated objective of the invasion was "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people".[1]. In preparation, 100,000 US troops were assembled in Kuwait by February 18.[7] The United States supplied the majority of the invading forces. Supporters of the invasion included a coalition force of more than 40 countries, and Kurds in northern Iraq. The 2003 Iraq invasion began the Iraq War."


So now, at the Joyous season of CHRISTMAS 2006, we are told that the number of U.S. FORCES lives that have been lost EXCEED the number of 911 VICTIMS! That fact may, or may not, be a political ploy, to continue the promotion of the occupation? BUT, what is the known DEATH TOLL OF TERRORISTS thus far? Is it GREATER? Yes, No? If so, by how much? I would think that most patriotic Americans would like to SEE THAT FIGURE BROADCAST! GEE, aren’t you glad our media is FREE, OPEN, and not subject to PROPAGANDA?

Anyway, back to my little poem. So, I posted it here at AD again, shortly after the SECOND INVASION, changing the title to: “SO SAD-DAM HIT BOTTOM.” As of today, December 27, 2006, three and one-half years later, only 416 people have read it, and only four commented -- well over two years ago.

Now that the Iraqi government’s court sytem has finally reached a LOGICAL VERDICT, I thought it apropos to RESURRECT my original little ‘ditty’ – along with the comments.


Despot's Demise?
• Sung to the tune of ?"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" * ?

When Sad-dam comes marching home today, ?Baghdad, Baghdad --- ?
We'll give him a rope to hang himself,
?Mad man, Mad man --- ?
Oh, the men will jeer, and the boys will shout, ?
We'll all throw rocks at the lousy lout, ?
And we'll all be glad when --- ?
Sad-dam is falling down. ??

When Sad-dam is falling down the trap, ?
Mad-Ass, Mad-Ass --- ?
We'll hang his can in the desert sand, ?
Iraq, Iraq --- ?
Oh, the women will chant, and the girls will shout, ?
"Hang you sucker, 'til your eyes pop out," ?
And we'll all be glad when --- ?
Sad-dam is dangling there. ??

When Sad-dam has been dangling dead, ?
Awhile, Awhile --- ?
We'll all have a very good reason ?
To smile, to smile --- ?
Kuwaitis will cheer, and Israelis will shout, ?
"Shove the crud inside a Scud", ?
And we'll all be glad when --- ?
Sad-dam is stuffed away. ??

When Sad-dam is stuffed away, ?
Today, Today --- ?
We'll send him back to old Iraq, ?
Hoo-ray, Hoo-ray --- ?
This Jack of attack was truly a Knave, ?
Let him rot in Hell, and all will be Well, ?
And we'll all be glad when --- ?
Sad-dam is in his Grave. ?

Hur-Rah, Hur-Rah !?
