I thought this was amusing...written by an American. Maybe it's 50/50 over there but I get the feeling most American users on here are Bush supporters...I can't work out a pattern?

Bush shall be prez declared the Supreme Court
Though his popular vote was actually short
Into DC strode this brash Texan
Thanks to his brother's tarnished election

Bush thumbed his nose at the rest of the planet
The Kyoto Treaty he couldn't stand it
Polluting the world is our God-given right
You can't stop us we've got the might

And then one day as he slept at the wheel
Terrorists struck and his surprise was real
But as the twin towers trembled and shook
Bush continued to read children a book

Exploiting this tragedy with no hesitancy
Was the new mission for his presidency
Revenge against terror he shall seek
Even if it leads us up shit's creek

So into Afghanistan our forces roared
Mountains and caves our soldiers explored
But despite much fanfare and drama
They couldn't find that elusive Osama

From this lack of success Bush sought to distract
What a convenient time to go after Iraq!
But this decision he would be forced to justify
No problem - I'll make George Tenet tell a lie

Selling this sham wasn't going too well
Our allies told George he could go to hell
So to the UN Colin Powell he sent
Lies about weapons he did invent

But despite the weight of his impressive reputation
The coalition comprised merely one nation
That is unless one counts the Brits
Who share the beliefs of Paul Wolfowitz

Bush said Iraq must be rid of Saddam Hussein
Smart bombs on Baghdad he then did rain
But Iraqi defenses were of little barrier
Soon the president stood upon a carrier

Mission accomplished he did proclaim
For this statement he'd soon face blame
Contrary to what the Neocons said
Iraquis wanted Americans dead

To the terrorists Bush said bring it on
We'll take on Korea, Iraq and Iran
But by hypocrisy this statement was marred
From a man who deserted the National Guard

Soon the press began to hound
Because no weapons could be found
With the military failing in its stated goal
Time to pull Saddam out of a spider hole

Now Iraq's been freed of this evil man
The new administration will be American
Rebuilding your country will become our toil
Just so long as we can suck dry your oil

This war wasn't fought for oil - that's zany
Emphatically claimed a lying Dick Cheney
Soon it became all but certain
The war was fought for Halliburton

But before the opposition had a chance to react
John Ashcroft rolled out the Patriot Act
Now if anti-American comments a dissenter may say
Could lead to indefinite detention at Guantanamo Bay

The mood at home grew increasingly dark
Especially after a book written by Dick Clarke
Clarke noted Bush wasn't curious intellectually
Perhaps that's why he rules so ineffectually

This rogue traitor they had to discredit
So they claim that Bush never said it
But the world can now so plainly see
Iraq was always his top priority

A doubting public he must now entice
Who better to do so than Condi Rice?
At first he kept her from the commission
But public pressure led to permission

Rice lied to the panel without shame
And said the intelligence was to blame
We were sure Saddam possessed a stockpile
But the administration was just in denial

Back in Iraq things are becoming grim
The odds of succeeding have grown increasingly slim
The world has come to question our intentions
Credibility ruined by inhumane detentions

Saddam's torture we vehemently decried
Our actions these words soon belied
Our honor now tainted by abject abuse
That it's only a few soldiers is just a ruse

Mistreating detainees was an administrative intention
That's why they tossed out the Geneva Convention
The president was shocked claimed a defensive Rummy
But to buy that story you must be a dummy

When the going gets tough some leaders show pluck
Our weak commander just passes the buck
George Bush has filled our future with only grief
It's time to elect a new commander-in-chief
