How many billion dollars
Over one and one-half
Plus the wooden pallets
Given to Iran
This was the foreign policy
Bribery for containment
This was the old regime
Making big decisions
Like drawing lines in the sand
The sycophants hailed this as genius
Then the game was over
An outsider came to town
Put an end to many dreams
Iran was not fooling many
Did not live up to agreements
Soleimani was in Baghdad
With plans to do damage
To American interests and
Take the lives of many soldiers
He had been confined to Iran
For several previous years
He had been responsible for
About a fifth of American deaths
In the country of Iraq
The President had him taken out
In a clean, precise strike and
Also got the second in command
Putting an end to an
Evil terrorist and gave a severe
Blow to the country of Iran
There has been restraint
Patience has been evident
No war is desired
But evil is evil and must
Be eradicated
If we cannot do this then
We should withdraw
From everywhere
The Bush Doctrine is dead
The Obama Doctrine is dead
The left is upset
Critics were appalled
How many body bags
Did they desire?
Theirs was the false choice
The right move was made
The left is worried
What about endless wars
The left is contentious
There has been caution
The right thing was being done
Quietly and efficiently
There was no hilarity
As when Osama was taken out
Or when Kaddafi was killed
No ho, ho, ho it is over
Nothing but seriousness
The world is not safe
But it is a safer place
With Soleimani in hell
