why iraq why now

  
  not to waste time:
the why oil
and location of bases
for prjecting power
to areas with ....more oil 

why not in 91?

soviet union was still a reality 
since then

its turned into the latest ottoman empire 
a moldering heep of imperial opportunities 

  but here's a fandango version 

====================


     why iraq
        why in’03

             why not in ‘91

        why care ?

i’ll answer the last one first

care

and care hugely  common folks  
cause its gonna cost you
hundred’s  of billions
in borrowings on the public credit
to pull it off 

-------------------------
 why the controversy over why?

cause 
    it  seems
  the eye of the beholder
  never played a more divisive
  hand
 in the public discourse
  then we see right now
  roiling the press waters  
 over the
  real whys 
the real
motivators
behind the us military’s
 latest
  intervention
  in the middle east
 
 operation iraqi freedom

 waz it really 
a  crusade for freedom

uncle sam
 playing
head honcho 
of 
the arabfreedom aid society
 of north america 

uncle 
riding to veiled   liberty’s rescue


sending a help mission
into a hot zone 
knocking out
a super mister resident  evil type

off the mad guy- bad guy

no one today buys
the cuba misssile 
clear and present schtick 
nope not  
to topple the prick
vigilante style like 
uncles done 
nope 

maybe there was a two bird strategy
get the phantom  wmds 
out of that wild ass creatures hands
and besides 
going in there
 to give a hand up 
to freedom loving arabs 

after long patience 
taking  matters in hand 

so much for polly anna 

now to  the dark siders


hey 
some of these cynics 
are just doing their only gig
they’re the same guyz
who if they know anything at all
 point out 
the only constant 
behind 800 years of  frankish mayhem 

 during 
 the original crusades
the only steady
support for more more more 
came from
the Italian merchant klass 

using this basis for the qui  bonoration  
only one reason
 for the tyrant topple
is ruled out
 straight up
by the respectable
hard bitten  media 
 
 no one
 at least no one
 getting cash or credit
 to  opine
 on such matters
 no one
 absolutely no one
 thinks it happened 
      as the operations
billing label would have it

  no polly 

 operation Iraqi freedom
  wouldn’t have gotten
 beyond  the
     “ well that would be wonderful”
  stage
 if all it had going for it 
                     was freedoms distress call

  the press
consensus view
  is simple 

 bottom line guys
 like Rummy  and Dick
 don’t borrow 20 billion dollars
                         just to
 release 20 million tortured
  innocents from hell 

and then there’s
the occ costs 
oh mother of heaven 

the billions just may not stop 


but 
heres a calc
you can’t make about say
haiti 

 iraq oil export dollars 
of 20 billion per annum

 after 
some provision for imports 
out of oil earnings 

 whats that worth ?

  say  half 

 so whats really left 
 to  float a  refi on 

whats the oil revenues debt carry  

 course this will take time to ramp up

that  
 requires 
 uncles credit card 
to bridge loan the deal

my est 200 bills 
to make a bridge between here and oil bonanza bagdad

till 
the  uncle will have to wait 
 

even bases
in fort apache type territory
 are no  small dollar burners 

 if they’re under lebanon type siege ?

 


on the other hand 
bright side

if your wondering 
 how many  
  pentagon contracts 
  can climb
out of an occ
 like this 

whooooow 
I’m seeing  the clown car
gag from the circus 

thats  a good model
-----------------------------------------

so it twasn’t freedoms ring 
accordin to the experts 
  despite  our skipper 
despite our visionary 
God pumped prez

  those scenes of liberation 
  and  summary rabble   redistribution
  now on our tv screens
       are no more then
   a  happy side effect

sort of  a
collateral   saving grace 
  
    those are not
   I  emphasize by repeating
   those are not
   decisive motivators
   to a single paying  member
  of the  coalition of the willing
  LEAST OF ALL
UNCLE HEGEMON
   
  so why then:

   this coalition 
 was  a coalition
  formed out of special interests
  to support a common purpose
   we can dispense with all
    but bush and blair
  occhams razor says
 it gets done 
 or not done
because of
 these two alone

and they were after oil directly
and oil indirectly

its that simple
too simple to be savory
for the big footers
that crave the beclouding smoke
 of 
  agnosticism  
 when fools  such as I
claim
“ the wagon trains run by the prrofiteers
we go where they wanta go
   if they can make us go there

  iraq was a place they wanted to go bad
and here’s the disgrace
it was a place
they could make us go













 the freeing of bagdad did not
happen
 because  some yankee doodle
     liberation revivall
   swept
        official washington 
 off its feet and
     right into
       this armed  action
        in the east
 no
  the clips from
  Irock ‘n roll high school
    are strictly a bonus


    hows about plunder


 simple plunder  Irake in oil 
         a temper fit   rationalized as a lesson to bad guys 
             iraq could be you  next time pipsqueak
        take down three balls with one shot         
    looking ahead each views future events
 could motives now in concert tommorrow be in conflict
syria is a zionist lobby play
  north korea
   Taiwan lobby stuff
  iran  is the oily boys call
            each future
    is a product of one or other assumed dominating player
    rule one 
uncle can’t topple them all
rule two the players not trusting 
the sheriffs staying power
 want they’re  shot next
  when the coalition caves
       in on itself 
  then the dominent player will emerge

  recall an earlier era
  when our fair congress
 was deciding the yeses and nos
of
 modern u.s. arms sales
 to the several royal regimes
 of   greater araby
     



the invincible zion lobby
found out where it stood
in the real pecking order

  ones perception 
of the key player then is
  hardly just fun

   the key players
driving this action 
  wiil be driving
the next one too 





    the identical
set of surface facts
 show a range
  of motives
   
  the hard left
 corporate America’s 
 imperial
 motivations
   
all to obviously
  glowering out 
from behind
 the recent
  xy billion dollar
 tyrant topple 
    in bagdad
 
  to liberals and patriots
 look alternitively like
morality tvs
 sheriff america
  or some ghoulish
  reaper of the innocent

 perhaps the anti corporate forces 
need to sharpen their knife a little
  so far they
have convinced no one

 and now 
as the occupation sets 
in 

they need 
to get they’re game up

 stop the unconvincing
  rig rattle 

  the
asshole innocent
   radio talk listeners
  need stuff they can fable over 
limp    phrases about 
    really after oil and such
  have 9 to 5 ho hum all over them 
    even        wmd hunt a mere pretext 
          don’t have the sex appeal
   unles the real motive
    is dog aweful and zany with evil 

  the truth of corporate imperialism 
  or at least the tick tock of its inner mechanisms
         are not the audience grabbers 
some would say
                     they deserve to be 

    we need blood spurting from babies skulls

 and gold flowing into
  towel  pirates hands
  and maybe prez bush 
on V-tape
    in a tent some where 
  arm thru arm woven round 
by  bare chested chicks
    and laughing over
 a passed  spleeef 
 with oil sheiks loll eyed and dick outed 
      a spleef  rapped in old glory paper
