"Rumsfeld Got Run Over By A Humvee."
Here's my latest song parody, gang! You sing it to the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer."

Rumsfeld got run over by a Humvee,
Visiting our troops out in Iraq.
You can say the soldiers there all love him,
But people with a clue know that that’s crap.

He’s the Defense Secretary,
Who doesn’t do his job that well.
He sent soldiers off to Iraq,
Ill-equipped, and now they’re dying in that hell.

Then old Rummy flew to Baghdad,
To give a speech and visit.
But he found out that the soldiers,
Were all getting sick and tired of his shit.

Rumsfeld got run over by a Humvee,
Visiting our troops out in Iraq.
You can say the soldiers there all love him,
But people with a clue know that that’s crap.

So the troops asked him tough questions,
Like, “Why haven’t I been paid?”
“Where’s the armor for our Humvees?”
“Why do you get to go home while we must stay?”

Then the pundits started screaming,
That those soliders were just plants.
Embedded reporters made them,
Ask the questions that made Rummy look so bad.

Rumsfeld got run over by a Humvee,
Visiting our troops out in Iraq.
You can say the soldiers there all love him,
But people with a clue know that that’s crap.

Just how many of these pundits,
Ever have fought in a war?
Maybe they should keep their mouths shut,
‘Cause they’re nothing but a bunch of sell-out whores.

Rumsfeld got run over by a Humvee,
Visiting our troops out in Iraq.
You can say the soldiers there all love him,
But people with a clue know that that’s crap.

5. Support the troups.
Donate a leg.
How about a hand.
Maybe an arm.

Enlist...

6. Humvee's need armor
I think this song is great. I can't see where it help the terrorist at all. I anything we helped the terrorist by invading Iraq. But anyway Operation Truth begs you to go to www.optruth.org and click on"contact your congressman" button and send a message to congress. What's going on is the company that makes the armor plating for the truck and humvee's gave notification about a month ago that they could increase production about 22% if they wanted them to. They have still not received an order from the Army for this to happen. After two years the Army is 7000 units short from equipping all the Humvees to class 3 armor(This is the lowest class)They have only 10% of 4814 M.weight trucks armored so far with 15% of 4,314 heavy transport trucks w/armor(this is what I drive). So please pass this on it may save a life of someone you know.

9. Nightrain, you truly have a gift there.
You always have a back up occupation (assuming this isn't your primary one to begin with).

It's great.

Thanks!
