The administration has finally conceded, after a week of stonewalling the obvious and apologizing for having as a citizen a vicious Mohammed hater, that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was planned. They did so by simply changing the tenses from present to past. At first the attack on the Benghazi consulate IS the result of an obscure YouTube movie trailer that no one had seen, and now, a week later, the administration admits it WAS a planned attack, as those dirty Republicans insisted. But now, it seems, the whole thing is best forgotten as an unfortunate and unforeseen incident, to join other unfortunate and unforeseen incidents in the past tense.

 

Benghazi was a peaceful place

Indeed had not a single trace

Of Muslim men attacking like some Huns

So sayeth State, and what is more

They saw no need to guard the store

And so they hired locals armed with guns

 

That had no bullets just in case

Some peaceful men might rush the place

And burn it down and curse the Yankee flag

And kill and thrill the cheering crowd

Who loved what Allah had allowed

And cheered and spit on that star spangled rag

 

But State had seen no need for guns

For we don’t want to be the ones

To foster violence where there was no cause

They had some locals there to guard

The consulate inside the yard

When trouble came they ran without a pause

 

But not to worry State did say

There is no trouble on the way

Although some peaceful protests there may be

But in Benghazi don’t you know

The people there just love us so

Their love is just quite wonderful to see

 

But then on an unforeseen day

A nine eleven by the way

A group of men armed with both bombs and guns

Attacked and killed four of our men

The State Department acted then

By saying such a thing just simply stuns

 

They said the fault was some poor slob

Who did a horrid hatchet job

On their beloved Prophet who they claimed

Was much insulted by the flick

Produced by some poor redneck hick

And so it was that this was who got blamed

 

At first it was the present tense

Yes even though it made no sense

To say the killings were no fault of those

Who peaceably had gathered there

To say they didn’t think it fair

That some dumb movie made them so morose

 

But now the tense has turned to past

The lies of State just could not last

They now admit attacks were quite well planned

Of course denying they’re at fault

They want the stories now to halt

That claim it’s they who saw the place not manned

 

By men with guns who shot to kill

And all because State lacked the will

To face with force the mob who stormed the gates

And so the tenses twist and turn

As O and State just never learn

That lies and cover ups just tempt the fates

 

And so the story that they told

Is changing now it’s grown so old

That Muslim movie critics said thumbs down

On a brief piece of what some said

Was quite enough to see us dead

And State instead of learning just dumbs down
