Two Weeks Before
Christmas!
T'was two weeks before Christmas, And
all through Iraq,
The people still worried that Saddam
would be back.
The soldiers went out on their nightly
patrol,
Capturing the bad guys was always
their goal!
With raids seeming endless in the
triangle Sunni,
We hoped that not all of Iraq was so
looney!
We gathered the tribe of Saddam, in
Tikrit,
And suddenly now they all started to
snit!
They told of a farm where Hussein just
might be
Odierno then called on our boys- from
the great 4th ID!
More rapid than Baathists our soldiers
they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called
them by name
Now Delta, Now Rangers, Now Cavalry
too!
On Green Hats, on Pilots, I need all
of you!
Go to that farm and secure it right
now!
Capture his ass- you guys know how!
Off went our soldiers under cover of
night,
So stealthy, so quiet with no trace of
light
While we back at home were eating our
lunches,
Our boys on the ground were following
hunches!
And then it was time for the raid to
begin.
The first target came up -empty
within!
Could it be our Intel was wrong once
again?
No! Somewhere nearby is the wolf in
his den!
And then, in a twinkling, camouflage
torn away
In a hole in the ground did their
quarry lay
Dazed and confused, right at them he
looked,
Did the stupid old fool know his goose
was now cooked?
He was dressed all in rags from his
toes to his head,
And his beard was as matted as 12
day-old bread!
How the mighty had fallen, could this
be Hussein?
One look in his eyes was to know he's
insane!
Our boys got their man - how proud we
all are
The relief in our country is felt near
and far
A bath he has had now -yet he'll never
be clean
Forever tainted with mass torture and
his Fedaheen
To our soldiers we give our undying
respect
You always give more than we ever
expect
We hope you can have now a night with
some fun
Your loved ones back home say-
JOB DAMN WELL DONE!
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
And
A Happy Happy New Year.......
