The outlook still looked dismal for the Pentagon top brass With only two years left in which to save George Bush's ass. First Tommy Franks had botched Baghdad; then Sanchez was cashiered. Both Bush and Cheney wars had gone as badly as Webb feared. Abizaid was in Dubai avoiding "boom-boom-boom." Peter Pace was saving face by picking up his room. John McCain and Lieberman were touting Bushie's "Surge" Joining Bushie's panic. But would Casey feel the urge? For Casey, mighty Casey, had once been Chief of Plans Helping set a date for when Iraq becomes Iran's. But still McCain and Lieberman were pushing Bushie's "Surge." And no one could predict when Gen'ral Casey'd get the urge. Team player that he is he would of course play Bushie Ball. The winning score would be whatever Bushie chose to call. But how should Fox portray those times that Casey got the urge While faking a makeover of al-Bushie's latest "Surge?" The Democratic Congress, much to ev'ryone's surprise, Soon reached across the chamber to propose a compromise: Could he be kept behind his desk while moving up a notch So only Fox need watch and help as Casey scratched his crotch?
