I'Ve a Simple Solution At Hand

Back in 2013 the President 'resetting,' drew a line in the sand Syria sprinted across it; faced no response from our end So, Bashir Assad killed his own countrymen with chemical gas hundreds upon thousands fled Syria, Europe's problem, alas* Then near the end of his term, ignoring his every general's advice DJT threatened to pull the plug on Afghanistan one night --thought a quick exit for his 'resume' would be nice And now JB's gone and done it, what a horrific choice we face To recognize the Taliban, an admission of disgrace A low blow to all our brave troops who died in that place Yet if we cut off the Taliban; if we can't bite out lips ISIS stands ready to blow Afghanistan to bits Now I'm not just complaining; I've a simple solution at hand No more Presidents play-acting Commander-in-Chief -- without military service beforehand Let's have a former soldier who honors and respects his command who can discern perils in jungles, deserts and mountain badlands If this means a separate office for Commander-in-Chief I'm all for it: Enough of my countrymen's (and the free world's) disbelief And if you feel I'm all wet, think 2029... Try to envision AOC** reviewing troops, making life-and-death decisions _______________________________________________________ *Even today, as I write this, Syrians homeless since 2013 are being used as political pawns by Russia and Belarus, who have flown them in (!) to crowd the border of Poland, where they 'live' in unsanitary, makeshift 'cities' -- all as part of Russian blackmail to force Poland and its European backers' hands.
