Twas the night before Baghdad.

Twas the night before Baghdad

Twas the night before Baghdad
And all through the base
Not a heartbeat was silent
Not a smile on one face

The soldiers at attention
Fists raised in the air
Saddam is a monster!
We must all go there!

So we loaded our planes
With our guns and our tanks
And we sent all the soldiers
To Kuwaits outer banks

From Kuwait, from Turkey
From Saudi and more
With battering rams
We knocked on his door

The Fedayin heard
All the military clatter
And ran to Saddam
To ask what was the matter

Don't worry he said
With a heartening ring
They financed my reign
They won't do this thing

We bombed all the buildings
Til the fires were glowing
While Baby Bush yelled
Keep the oil pipes flowing!

He should be a magician
Our Baby Bush, cuz you see
He created the biggest illusion
The WMD's

He lied to us all
About terror and pain
When all that he's after
Is monetary gain

For Daddy, and Barbara
And Baby Bush too
There is no such thing
As too much oil revenue

Some people believe
That it's for our own good
To bomb and to kill
To shed innocent blood

They sleep in their beds
Oblivious to lies
While we who have wakened
Hear bloodcurdling cries

Cries of our fathers,
Our brothers and sons
Sent to fight in a war
That cannot be won

We liberated them!
Our Baby Bush chimes
That is why they attack us
Time after time

With Christmas upon us
He steps up his work
Of campaigning again
The self serving jerk!

He'll don his flight suit
He'll have all his fun
Wishing Merry Christmas! Keep fighting!
And to all....Duck and Run!

The Price of Their Silence: How Islamophobia Became an Industry—and Muslims Its Global Collateral

  🖋️ By Malik Mukhtar 📍 ainnbeen.blogspot.com | 🗓️ June 28, 2025 They bombed Iraq for democracy. Tortured Afghans in the name of security. Waterboarded bodies at Guantanamo and called it “enhanced interrogation.” And now in Gaza—they bury children under rubble and whisper, self-defense . This isn’t a war on terror. It’s a war on memory, on names, on brown bodies that pray in Arabic. And Islamophobia has been its golden engine—powerful, profitable, and protected. 🧠 Islamophobia: Not Just Prejudice—A $Billions Industry Islamophobia is not just a bias—it’s a well-funded psychological operation . According to the Center for American Progress , over $42 million was channeled (2001–2011) into think tanks and media fronts to craft and normalize anti-Muslim sentiment. This isn’t random—it’s strategic. The goal: keep the public afraid —of Muslims, of mosques, of immigrants, of something called Sharia Law . 📘 Sharia Law: The Manufactured Threat That Never Was Let’s be c...
