Victory Operation Enduring Freedom?
global observers
New York post
9/11 aftermath
allies enemies
with baited breath
wondered at
responses
as bombs
fell every
six seconds on
capital Kabul Afghanistan
without mercy...
Operation Enduring Freedom
stated ploy goal of dismantling
al-Qaeda terrorist organization
left civilian largest city
in invaded Afghanistan
littered in bomb craters
foliage burned blackened
rotting collateral civilian
dead recruitment bodies
triumphant United States had
removed target Taliban regime
created a viable democratic state...
or had NATO forces fanned
birth seeds widespread
revenge Taliban insurgency?
Postscript analysis a decade on
reason had world's supreme only
remaining superpower responded
coolly cautiously carefully
to avoid plunge bathing in rivers
of blood endless war death
of American democracy
berserk unleashing frenzied
attacks upon everyone...
regardless of consequences?
Reason prevailed not mired
wars of occupation followed
in Iraq Libya Afghanistan
deploying drones in Pakistan
clubs CIA FBI covertly
unleashed teams of mercenary
assassins across the world to hunt
down kill in name democracy!
Is it not enough five US wars?
Can we advance into extra occupations?
Are we drunk with malice hate?
Are we addicted to foreign wars?
Are we addicted to violence bloodshed?
Are we addicted to greed hatred?
Do any wise American generals
really believe they can bludgeon
all nations an entire world
into obedience with total immunity?
All questions posed all queries submitted
to Washington are answered with attacks?
From bombs guns missiles tanks
as mechanized death drones on?
Has Congress completely abdicated
constitutional duty as authorized only
government body that declare war can?
Congress routinely ignored in matters
of military action responsibility policy?
America when will you learn might does not
prove right disarm enemies with a smile kind?

It Is Only Cultural
It is Only Cultural (Afghanistan)
Afghans hate America, it’s a cultural thing mostly.
US, is a democracy, they want to bring peace,
stability and obesity. Wall Street in Kabul,
the rise and fall of shares eyes glued on screens.
Everything is priced and private and Afghanistan
is theme park. Phony Taliban black beards and
fake guns. Folkloric dressed they dance to the tune
of modernity and middle class trivialities.
Afghanistan, reduced to a pretty postcard, maxi
burgers bars and jeans, until self disgust wins and
Afghanistan goes back to its tribal ways.

Reason Why President George Attacked Afghanistan
Why attack? Afghanistan
government never had
plans to attack the US.
Bush Administration
claims Taliban directly helped
or assisted al-Qaeda.
A claim never proven.
Then where were the nineteen
al-Qaeda hijackers born?
The 2004 report of the 9/11
Commission,
concluded the September 11
attacks “were carried
out by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists
who each assumed
the role of hijacker
of the aircraft they boarded
on 9/11. The attacks were
planned and organized
by numerous other members
of al-Qaeda, as well as
the lead member
and hijacker-pilot in each group.”
Not the Taliban George.
Hijackers born in Afghanistan
then, or Mr Bush
would not have attacked?
The 2004 report of the 9/11
Commission
checked nationalities aliases
revealed all the alleged
hijackers were from
“Saudi Arabia (fifteen
hijackers) , United Arab
Emirates (two hijackers) ,
Lebanon (one hijacker)
and Egypt (one hijacker) .”
But but but Bush
already knew none of the
suspected hijackers
were from Afghanistan.
The “identities of the alleged
hijackers were determined
'about two hours after
the 9/11 attacks' by the
US customs service
who 'were able to do that
[after] they [had obtained]
access to the flight manifests
of those aircrafts'
declared Edward Alden.
The hijackers came
from Saudi Arabia, United
Arab Emirates, Lebanon
and Egypt, countries never
attacked. Bush deliberately
attacked an innocent
country, another example
of Bush policy
beating around the wrong bush.
Oh and 'weapons of mass destruction'
reason for attacking killing Iraqis in Iraq
another bush fairy tale never found.
Quoted from the interview with Edward Alden by Sandip Roy of New America Media, October 12,2008.

The Hypocritical
So many people injured and more than fifty numbered with the dead
About the recent London bombings a lot has been written and said
Though such cowardly and callous attacks on civilians are happening in Iraq every day
That Country to us seems so foreign and from our thoughts seems far away.
One can only feel for the civilian casualties of London for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq they are not to blame
Though their Government will not admit to it at the sufferings of millions of Afghanis and Iraqis they ought to feel shame
They are part of the invading Coalition of the willing those who have managed for to stir up more hate
And though victory in Afghanistan and Iraq has been proclaimed one wonders what is to celebrate?
When I hear war leaders condemning acts of terror I say to myself how hypocritical they are
For to wage their wars on other Nations their fighter jets and their armies travel far
Thousands of civilians have died in their bombing missions though that to them seems quite okay
They do seem to have some strange values those who promote us against they.
The perpetrators of the London bombings their names not worthy of mention but the war leaders who condemn them no better than them 'twould seem
For them to wage war on other Nations is a boost to their egos and their self esteem
They must address the root cause of terrorism before the last hope of peace has gone
For if they keep on bombing other Nations then terror is bound to live on.

Fight Wars In Foreign Countries
Illuminati wants contemporary world
to forget about their oil invasion wars
move on as if from a failed love affair
failure love affairs can be sources of pain
so you have no problem with Germany Italy Japan
being bombed during devastation World War Two
Axis powers started it got what they deserved right?
Will we you learn lessons from horrific devastated Europe?
Yes fight wars in foreign countries was key lesson learned?
New policy was fighting wars in poor ravaged South East Asia?
Modern oil wars fight in invaded Iraq Afghanistan Libya?
Got to get supply flowing oil profits growing western?
No need to control whole country just guard oil pipelines.

Bush was "flying around

in his mother's bed
after having a nightmare"
another said Bush
"skedaddled"
both journalists were fired.
Bush administration
flexed muscle
finally fired back at
reporters reviewing inaction
no concise record
freedom of speech
investigation truth allowed
forget conspiracy theory
What are the facts revealed?
Facts? None of the hijackers
were Afghani from Afghanistan.
None had links to the Taliban.
None had links to Osama Bin Laden.
Facts? Alleged hijackers were all al-Qaeda.
All were Arabs from Arab countries.
None of these Arab countries were attacked?
Facts? 9/11 justified attacks on Iraq?
9/11 justified attacks on Afghanistan?
No hijackers originated in these countries?
Don't believe me? Check the flight lists.
American Airlines Flight 11
Hijackers: Mohamed Atta (Egyptian) , Waleed al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Wail al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Abdulaziz al-Omari (Saudi Arabian) , Satam al-Suqami (Saudi Arabian) .
American Airlines Flight 77
Hijackers: Hani Hanjour (Saudi Arabian) , Khalid al-Mihdhar (Saudi Arabian) , Majed Moqed (Saudi Arabian) , Nawaf al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian) , Salem al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian) .

Hijackers: Ziad Jarrah (Lebanese) , Ahmed al-Haznawi (Saudi Arabian) , Ahmed al-Nami (Saudi Arabian) , Saeed al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian) .

Hijackers: Marwan al-Shehhi (United Arab Emirati) , Fayez Banihammad (United Arab Emirati) , Mohand al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Hamza al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian) , Ahmed al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian) .
Facts? A justified invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq,
is necessary based upon "geostrategic interests in the Mideast,
including pipeline plans launched in the early 1990s
by Unocal and other oil companies."
But president Bush has no links
to oil companies and US war production?
Or does he, no, surely not?
Justification invasions
needs Pearl Harbour scale attacks
Bush orders NORAD
To Stand Down.

From The Experiences She's Had
In broken English she spoke about the Taliban
The ex refugee from war torn Afghanistan
Their rule to say the least was quite austere
And all Afghan women of them lived in fear.
But she added the Northern Alliance when they ruled just as bad
And their feuding Warlords dangerous and mad
And they rule again in Afghanistan today
But the leopard never changes his spots or so they say.
Things in Afghanistan still seem far from okay
And for her war ravaged Homeland the Afghan migrant pray
But she feels happy that she at last is free
Of discrimination, oppression and poverty.
Her knowledge comes from the experiences she's had
And she says the Northern Alliance as the Taliban just as bad
And from a village north of Kabul her life's journey began
The noble woman from Afghanistan.

The Man Who Talks To God
For one of self proclaimed devotion his behaviour seems odd
And he is known by many as the man who talks to God
His so called war on terrorism has left thousands of people dead
Of his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq so much written and said.
George W always talks to God when in his church he pray
God told him to bomb Afghanistan and George W did obey
And then he told him to invade Iraq and dropp bombs on Baghdad
His must be a judgemental God to decide good from bad.
The privileged one who talks to God he fights to cling to power
His God cares for the noxious weed and poisons the peace flower
His God who seems so righteous for the poor doesn't show much sympathy
And for the people who believe in other Gods he lacks in empathy.
He is the one who talks to God one of his God's chosen few
He wages war in his God's name and to his God he is true
When his God tells him to go to war he always does obey
It takes all kinds to make up the Human World each to their own they say.
