"Unlawful combatants"? What combatant's not?
Well, maybe, just maybe, the one who's not caught.
Do the trees in the woods make a noise when they fall
If no one is there who can see and tell all?

"Unlawful combatants"? Another Bush hoax!
A Bush war that's lawful? One of life's little jokes.
Unlawful depends on what's lawful, it seems.
Remember how Junior loved Kenny Boy's schemes?

"Unlawful combatants" tried by due process?
But not by Bush Junior in his Iraqi mess.
As his tortures continue who will let us X-rate him?
Can he build enough prisons to hold all who hate him?

Or will he, like the Spanish, spurn incarceration
And let it be known he's for incineration?
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
Without enough prisons he'll find ashes a must.

Bonnie and Clyde could rob Citibank –
   And the FBI? Nary a clue.
They consider John Dillinger blankety-blank
   and Baby Face Nelson a band to dance to.

They can't download music to their newest computers.
   Their connections are too slow at work.
The millions they've blown on their networking tutors?
   Another Kozlowski and Kenny Boy perk.

But aren't we the ones who've been footing their bills?
   So why shouldn't we have a say,
Like where is the guy Bush told us would try
   to get them some help from his new CIA?

His new CIA relies mostly on iPods,
   which the FBI thought of as toys
After seeing Feith's brief that expressed his belief
   that iPods would make too much noise.

Inter-agency link? Who bothers to think
   now that iPods have learned how to shuffle?
The name of the game and their claim to fame
   rests on being advised how to muffle.

"Pentagon seeks to expand its intelligence"
A plan many millions will surely applaud.
Rummy, the dummy, should be put out to pasture,
As should his assistants by whom we've been scrod.

"Pentagon seeks to expand its intelligence"
Ban those with IQs below seventy-two.
How many are left? Not all that many,
And not a one of that Neocon crew.

"Pentagon seeks to expand its intelligence"
Abort anti-missiles and their cock and bull.
Scrap fuzzy satellite photos for Powell.
And forget sleepless nights fearing what they will pull.

"Pentagon seeks to expand its intelligence"
All the world wonders why it didn't before,
Proving again that it takes one to know one,
That an MGM lion only knows how to roar.

I didn't know which Time it was
That wouldn't print
The name of Wilson's wife
Based on my vengeful hint.

I didn't know the odds her job was
Top secret spy.
I didn't know Bob Novak was
My kind of guy.

Guess who I'll leak hints of scandal to,
Knowing he'll play my hands,
Hands that we know Time won't
   ever get on its own.
Hands to which the few subscribers left
   will never be prone.

Time can forget the time it was
A major source
Of whether Bush has fallen off
His trike or a horse.
I'm wise,
And I know how Time's been changed now.

Don't do no sweet talk –
You know my rep.
I am the hawk's hawk –
Kofi, better watch your step.
You and your cronies –
I'm savin' my vitriol for you.

Don't do no carrots,
But love the stick.
Hate peacenick parrots –
Mein Kampf has always been my shtick.
Mein walrus moustache?
Der Fuehrer says he'll rent one too.

In the UN they need real men
Who've advised on little Taiwan
For about thirty thousand smackeroonies.

Bush lost his senses –
He's out of dough –
So my assignment's mending fences,
Eating crow.

Why's Wolfie laughing?
Something that Der Fuehrer doesn't know?
