BUSH, THE RESOLUTE

We’re staying in Iraq until they all agree
on a Constitution, just like ours, which cannot be;
and as long as they shall fight against our occupation,
doubtless forever, and die for the freedom of their nation,
so long, says Bush, will be our noble war, defending
our wobbling grip on Beltway power and treasonous spending.
So, says Bush, loftily, we’ll stay as long as necessary.
We should rotate our troops to visit home more often
so there’ll be more kids, who’ll line up to replenish
our troop strength, down the road, for Jeb.
