80 FOOTBALL FIELDS AND $592 MILLION DOLLARS

We built an Embassy the size of eighty football fields

The Arabs know we have no intentions to leave,

Five hundred and ninety two million tax dollars spent

In the not to distant future, it will all be rent

 

Didn’t anyone read the History books?

Did they even take a look?

History depicts they would rather die

Than to live and be occupied

 

Who in America would live under occupation?

It would be worst than prohibition,

So why shouldn’t they fight to keep their land?

Why is this so difficult to understand?

 

A reckless encounter

By a democracy dictator,

A mission out of control

With troubles untold!

When Mr. Bush was asked in a recent News conference as to when would all the American troops be out of Iraq, he said; “That decision is for a future President to make.” It is a high probability that before Mr. Bush’s term ends on January 20^th 2009, we may be writing to our Soldiers at:
