Blair's War
Blair told the people we must go to war,
Because Bush asked him to, "before
Saddam wields his weapons of mass destruction";
Intelligence gave out this dire instruction.
We didn't know this was a ruse;
There never was a lighted fuse;
Hussein could never mobilise his force
In five and forty minutes, but of course
At that time, how were we to know the facts;
That Blair's scaremongering were only acts
To scare us into joining Bush's war
Because that oath to Bush, he'd swore.
Now that the truth is coming out
We're being side tracked by Campbell's shout
That it was BBC that got it wrong.
The hope amidst the great ding dong
Is that we'll lose sight of focal point,
Which is that Blair and Bush, singly and joint,
Forced war on us by lies and sheer deceit.
That is the truth from which Blair seeks retreat.
