I've finally figured out why the Bush administration didn't bother to properly equip our soldiers in Iraq: We're not fighting a war - we're in a "struggle." And who needs body armor and armored vehicles for a measly struggle? I'm referring to Bush's latest sloganeering effort, giving the "global war on terror" a spanking new name: "global struggle against violent extremism." And that brings me to my latest poem:
War? What War?
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The war on terror's going bad,
So what's a Prez to do?
He simply calls it something else.
The "struggle" has debuted.
Bush starts a war without a plan.
A needless war, to boot.
And when it fails, his course is clear...
