Clairvoyance

With no defense for what they've done
   Bush and Cheney have begun
   to claim that no one else could do it better.
Isn't that about the same
   as someone, showing little shame,
   proclaiming that he's now the best bedwetter?

First of all who else would want to
   hire an idiot savant to
   come up with misinformation like Chalabi did?
And then elect to act upon it
   telling us we could count on it,
   like maybe Halliburton made the lowest bid?

And who would want to float the lies
   leading to the big surprise
   that they have no idea what they're doing?
Too few troops to stop the looting,
   to prevent continued shooting
   by insurgents Bush is still pooh-poohing –

When he proclaimed the war was won,
   Osama said, "Today Top Gun,
   but very soon we'll see you eating crow."
Now both of them are demonstrating
   to the world with their debating
   Osama's a clairvoyant so and so.
