U.K. Paper Says 5,500 U.S. Troops Have Deserted to Avoid Iraq War

by Tony Peyser

Joe Richards is a Pentagon spokesman
Who isn’t sympathetic to their plight:
Why had all these people agreed to join up
If they hadn’t intended to fight?

Richards is making an excellent point
Which hit me in the solar plexus
Do you think that question was ever asked
To the former Governor of Texas?
