Colonizing Iraq
On;y civilians need apply

What a clever maneuver. Coloniizing Iraq.
Be like the Israelis. Enjoy living abroad.
Jobs for civilians. Government housing.
Establish a government? Won't Iraqis be awed.

Don't speak their language? That's not a problem.
If they wish to converse, let them learn ours.
Ban politicians. No Mitch McConnells.
Confiscate oil fields. Keep bankers hours.

Become xenophobic. Tax only Iraqis.
What a great country without Rand Paul or Mitch.
Even Israelis will want to move there.
Imagine how Netanyahu will bitch.

Will Iraqis be happy when Israelis move in?
Will Afghans be thrilled when we do it to them?
We're a reincarnation of the old British Empire,
But they didn't bring with them BP's crème de la crème.
