Who speaks for Iraq?

By Father Tyme

It’s such a simple question but no one has asked before, so I will.
Who DOES speak for Iraq?

The Sunnis don’t seem to be the ones. They want to kill the Shia.
The Shia don’t have time to speak. They’re trying to stay alive and kill as many Sunni as they can.
Al Qaeda can’t speak for Iraq. They just want to kill Americans according to Bush.
Maliki can’t speak for himself without Bush’s hand moving his mouth through his ass.
Al-Sadr speaks only for his followers.
The Kurds? Well, they have their own agenda.
The children? They’re too terrified.
The Iraqis themselves? They’re caught in the middle and just want things the way they were before Bush liberated them. They’d rather have Saddam than Bush.
Blackwater? They speak for themselves and the corporations that hired them, answerable to no one.
Halliburton? Halliburton speaks for Cheney.
The U.S. Military? They don’t speak, they just listen, do AND die.

Which brings us to George W. Bush. It looks like Bush speaks for Iraq.

He speaks and Iraqis lose their possessions. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraqis lose their homes. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraqis lose their friends. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraqis lose their relatives. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraqis lose their wives and husbands. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraqis lose their children. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraqis lose their country. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraq loses its resources. And he doesn’t care.

He speaks and Iraqis are tortured. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraqis are maimed. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraqi children are maimed. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Iraqi women and girls are raped – by Americans. And he doesn’t care.

He speaks and Iraqis die. And he doesn’t care.

He speaks and Americans are maimed. And he doesn’t care.
He speaks and Americans die. And he doesn’t care.

He also speaks for America. And he doesn’t care.

And we spoke for George W. Bush. And we’re not allowed to care.
