Bush Buys Islam
Sung to the Cole Porter tune
"It's All Right With Me"

When did Islam
And the Koran
Become my goal in Afghanistan?
The moment Rummy's lack of a plan
Let back Omar's Taleban –
But that's all right with me.

Now no Bibles
And their Gospels
Will be force-fed to those infidels.
There'll be no more attempts at hardsells
By my born-again evangelicals –
Which is all right with me.

So what if we lost sev'ral thousand or more?
You know what I wanted to do:
Convert ev'ry Muslim to the faith I adore
So my god could try to love them, too.

'Twould be a long course
With a strong force,
But the force we used was such a small force
That I've had to get off my high horse,
And try hard to show some remorse –
But being contrite
Doesn't sound quite
Like me.
