Seventy Billion Dollars a Year for What?
Chalmers Johnson said it for years
Their screw-ups playing on our fears
So the CIA just had to go
So often were they not in the know
Here are just a few pretty big
In the dark about the Bay of Pigs
And perhaps the biggest of all
They missed the fall
Of the Berlin wall.
And in Iraq those welcoming rose petals
Were replaced by IED metals:
And in Afghanistan Major Danny
Sjursen said
That even in Kabul the only territory
He controlled was what he could see
So when Biden said a month ago
Afghanistan the way of Saigon
Would never go
As the Taliban galloped
And brazenly walloped
These 300,000 men we’d trained
Were a phantasy fiction
Stubbornly maintained
And as the Taliban blitzed
The countryside
The palace doors were opened wide
Biden’s faulty intelligence
Was riven with woeful ignorance
The stalwart 300,000
Evaporated into the night
And didn’t even put up a fight
Leaving Biden looking like a fool
And the Afghanis treated most cruel
Chalmers was definitely in the know
The CIA has got to go.
