Assad....Ain't The Crisis...It's Us Poem by James B. Earley

Missiles and Syria
...Bullshit's bacteria
Crisis...not Assad...but us
'Russian Election intrusion'
...Reduced to illusion...
Syrian intervention...'tis thus

Changing the subject
...What...ingenious...effect
Con Man's wizardry in play
....Houdini's inflicter
Skulduggery the victor...
Missiles...over Syria...hooray

....With ISIS on the run
When its all said and done....
Would Assad do such a hideous thing
Who has....most...to lose
...From that equation...choose...
Which...is the most plausible ring

Russia's 'Election intrusion'
....Now.....but...an illusion
Syrian intervention 'tis thus...
Depositing on Syria
...Bullshit's....hysteria
Assad...ain 't the crisis...it's us


Author's note:
'Earlier this week,21 retired military, intelligence and FBI personnel jointly argued that President Trump was moved to this attack by misguided or incomplete intelligence. Their view - which is based on eyewitness reports from U.S. military on the ground in Syria and intelligence reports from their former colleagues - is that Syrian President Bashar Assad did not use poison gas on his own people earlier this month. They note that Assad is clearly winning his long-fought civil war and does not need the international headache of being tarnished as a person who gassed children; nor would there be even the remotest military gain to him if he did so.'
