He's a straight shooter. 
When he's speaking you know just  
Where Karl Rove stands.

He now blames the war 
On faulty intelligence. 
You got that right, George.
 
He thinks Iraq lost 
Thirty thousand, more or less, 
Since liberation
 
He says you must try 
To keep history in mind 
When your kid gets killed.
 
Removing Saddam 
Was still the right decision, 
Whoever made it.

I'm impressed the word 
"Islamofacism" made 
It out of his mouth

(addressing Pentagon officials: "Our enemies... never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.")
 
He will never stop 
Thinking like our enemies 
Perhaps he should try
 
 
April 13, 2004  
(inspired by prime time press conference)
 
It's been a tough time 
But he's still standing now he's 
Got his war-footing
 
If he sees a threat 
He looks forward to the chance 
Of dealing with it
 
He knows in his soul 
Brown-skinned people can manage 
A democracy
 
He read the memo 
And would move heaven and earth 
Had he an inkling
 
Peace is elusive 
But you can find mustard gas 
In a turkey farm
 
- submitted by M. Fellin 
Saddam in Iraq 
Had plans to go 'nuculer' 
Whatever that means 
 
 
Got a Bushku?  Send 'em in!

NOTE:     Everypoet.com has an automated "Bushku generator."  It produces shortened haiku (lines of 3-5-3 syllables, rather than the traditional 5-7-5) that are pretty random in content.  The site also offers Human Bushku which are more insightful.  In any case, the "Bushku" on this site are not related to Everypoet.com ones and any similarities are coincidental.
