"But what to say about progress at putting down the insurgency? Well, with apologies to Dick 'Last Throes' Cheney, it only looks to be getting better in the sense of the Lennon/McCartney song ? the one where John immediately undercuts Paul by chiming in, 'it couldn't get much worse.'"
Stop me before I parody again!!
It's getting better all the time
We fought terrorists in Kabul (so you can't complain)
But, I moved the fight to Mosul (still, you can't complain)
We're burning it down (whaaa?)
Spinning it round (Whoa!)
Drilling it for fossil fuels (Fool! Fool!)
I've got to convince it's getting better (better?)
A little better all the time (it can't get no worse!)
On Fox News a twist: It's getting better! (better?)
Even though our troops are dying...
Sadr, he's an angry young man
He's hiding those bombs in the sand!
But, hasn't he heard Saddam gassed those Kurds
At the time, we of course lent a hand...
I've got to convince it's getting better (better?)
A little better all the time (polls can't get no worse!)
On Fox News a twist: It's getting better! (better?)
Even though more troops are dying...
Getting so much better all the time
That's how we blather all the time (blather, blather, blather)
Just so we blather all the time (blather, blather, blather)
Saddam he was cruel to his people
He beat them and took them apart with a shredding machine
Man he was mean so let's change his regime
Though we helped with his fight with Iran...
Not a bit is getting better (better)
Not getting better all the time. (It's just getting worse)
But, I'll still insist it's getting better (better)
Since we started this war of mine.
Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time (blather, blather, blather)
It's getting better all the time (blather, blather, blather)
Getting so much blather all the time
