I had always assumed that, for the most part, poets were a gentle and peace-loving bunch. Seems I was wrong. The bellicose bards at www.poetsforthewar.org are out to prove that the pen can be just as mighty as the sword. Check out these haikus from one of the site's featured poets: Saddam's men lay dead Carpeting the desert in heaps World a better place A marine comes home Places jar on his mantle Saddam's balls displayed Bright flash, mushroom cloud An evil regime destroyed America wins When war is over Sleazy dictators will know Don't mess with US Hey France! Hey Saudis! When we are done with Saddam Which of you is next? Daisycutter bomb Parachutes on Saddam's house Live on CNN M1 tank flies fast blasting across the desert Iraq surrenders B2 Stealth Bomber JDAMS blast sixteen targets Back next day with more CIA opens Archives of Saddam Hussein French contracts found
posting this once again Sing to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands" If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq. If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq. If the terrorists are frisky, Pakistan is looking shifty, North Korea is too risky, Bomb Iraq. If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq. If we think someone has dissed us, bomb Iraq. So to hell with the inspections, Let's look tough for the elections, Close your mind and take directions, Bomb Iraq. It's "pre-emptive non-aggression", bomb Iraq. Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq. They've got weapons we can't see, And that's good enough for me 'Cos it's all the proof I need Bomb Iraq. If you never were elected, bomb Iraq. If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq. If you think Saddam's gone mad, With the weapons that he had, (And he tried to kill your dad), Bomb Iraq. If your corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq. If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq. If your politics are sleazy, And hiding that ain't easy, And your manhood's getting queasy, Bomb Iraq. Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq. For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq. Disagree? We'll call it treason, Let's make war not love this season, Even if we have no reason, Bomb Iraq.
Since you were able to find that one I wanted to see if you could do me a favor. Could you please post the other one to the same tune... you know the one: if you get oral sex in the Oval office bomb Iraq.... if you penetrate chicks with cigars bomb Iraq.... if you are facing impeachment bomb Iraq.... I forgot the rest of it, but see if you can find it for me. Thanx!!
wow, that was lame it's amazing how that's a total knee-jerk reaction now.. despite the fact that it has -nothing- to do with the topic.. nor does it make sense because Clinton was never at war with Iraq.
Its fairly recent history, how could you forget. He was bombing mere days after the impeachment proceedings. But of course in your mind that was substantiated action wasn't it? What is lame is how hollow individuals such as your self are that every issue must be a partisan one.
There has been continuous bombing of Iraq since the gulf war. as for you second comment, you're the one making this partisan because you automatically turn around and bash Clinton, thus drawing a party line in the sand.. black vs. white.. dem vs. repub.. for all you know, I could be a republican, or anything else for that matter.
Guys, This isn't a thread for arguing over war. it's supposed to be funny and both of you are not being funny so go play elsewhere.
I shall now compose a haiku in honor of my pants and shirt Paisley's only feud Is that which he has with plaid I will change my pants
Precisely, so why all the complaining about this now? Where were all the anti-bombing protests? I guess you did not considerI could be a democrat who supports our country in their quest to get rid of Saddam & the weapons I feel he has, and feels that posts such as yours do nothing positive thus I made the comment about Clinton to show that it could be said about either one. 1) Neither of us was discussing war 2) Threads are much like face-to-face discussions in that they may begin w/ one topic and end up talking about a completely different one, what makes this particular thread exempt? * * Edited as mentioned in prior post * *
TheHorns: If you look around, you see that, sometimes, when things start to get off track, people will start a new thread and say..."the conversation in the other thread was getting off track so I started a new thread just for this." It's just courtesy. That's all. Nothing more. No need to get all freaked out. Nobody is banning anybody.
Not worried about banishment, nor did I feel there was a threat of it, I was letting you know that I am aware of policies. Without having me, I can't blame you not knowing, but trust me on this one, I do not get freaked out . Sometimes you have to go the extra mile to get your point across when you can't look a person in the eye and discuss or debate a topic. Just wanted clarification. Enough with that. Thanks.
While we're on the topic of ressurecting old scandals to bash political parties on issues that have no relevance whatsoever, who's going to write the Nixon version?
