Saddam you’re caught!” Decades later, “Who wanted endless war?” Fog Horn and Crumpling Paper made the call When the check came in, they denied their lore From Barack: “expand the war wide and tall!” Outsider Tycoon, “We will end this now!” Baghdadi, Soleimani -- pluck the thorn “Another war! Serve it and let them chow!” Tycoon ignores John Bolton and Fog Horn. Tycoon fulfills promises of Kerry! But for war, the Deep State is made merry!
