On The Death of Bin Laden
by John Tully
Now I lay me down to sleep while people cheer in the streets like creeps
Of course I love and respect our troops but wonder why they get treated like poop
Having to buy body armor-on their fifth deployment, while people fetishize them- a video game for their enjoyment
All those dead Americans-Iraqis and Afghans too, will the War on Terror ever be through
Ten years gone by-trillions of dollars spent, while ordinary Americans can’t even pay their rent
All this vengeance and all this hate, what have we accomplished, what is our fate?
Don’t feel any safer, we worry more than ever, while the politicians posture and try to be clever
The rest of the World wonders just what to say and thinks to themselves how our country lost it’s way
But I’m a true Patriot and so I ask questions, our Founders would demand this, that we learn our lessons

Roger Shuy (“-ic“) is not the only one who’s been talking about the president’s missing morpheme. At the start of Maura Reynolds’ article “The ‘Democrat majority’ is still the talk of the capital” in the Los Angeles Times, 1/30/2007, she asks:
Will President Bush put the “-ic” back in “Democratic”?
That was the hot topic around Washington on Monday after the president was asked why, during his State of the Union address last week, he referred to Congress’ new “Democrat majority.”
“That was an oversight,” Bush said in an interview Monday with National Public Radio. “I’m not trying to needle…. I didn’t even know I did it.”
In this week’s New Yorker, Peter Maass — who was in Iraq covering the war at the time — examines the iconic, manufactured toppling of the Saddam statue in Baghdad’s Firdos Square, an event the American media relentlessly exploited in April, 2003, to propagandize citizens into believing that Iraqis were gleeful over the U.S. invasion and that the war was a smashing success. Acknowledging that the episode demonstrated that American troops had taken over the center of Baghdad, Maas nonetheless explains that “everything else the toppling was said to represent during repeated replays on television — victory for America, the end of the war, joy throughout Iraq — was a disservice to the truth.”
