A bird in the hand beats 2 in the Bush
50-caliber diplomacy, paper democracy one nation over-god evangelize with cruise missiles, laser guided policy.. Dropping ordinance on ordinary casualties, countries colonized by the dollar. Dance to the doctrine of Manifest Destiny.Tonkin Resolutions, Patriot Acts of desperation placating with placebos under the table. Extortion on a dollar bill, better still Ben Franklin. 50-caliber diplomacy, paper democracy, riding shotgun with righteous indignation, a white man's burden, A bird in the hand beats 2 in the Bush. Clinton sin on CNN. Bush sly like a Fox News Live. The truth lies on airwaves, save me from myself. Concrete cascade 9-11 fades into a national holiday. ( Oh say can you see. the flag draped bodies they don't want you to see).
