Iraq War version of Feel Like I'm Fixin To Die Rag

You gotta squint a little (it's a cartoon) and it is about Gulf War 1,
but basically very smart and appropriate.

edit: Found a bunch more versions (Iraq War 2)

Really like this one, from a man in my hometown.

Fixin To D’Iraq Rag

Uncle Sam had a Pit bull named Saddam G
Gave em US arms to attack Iran C
Then Saddam found a taste for spoils G
Invaded Kuwait to take their oil C
Bush Sr. responded with Desert Storm A D
But he only did a half-assed job. G C

Chorus
And its One, Two, Three, what are we fightin for? D G C
Donít ask me, I donít give a damn, next stop is Iraq land. C G C
And its Five, Six Seven, open up the pearly gate, D G C
Aint no time to wonder why A D
Whoopee, were all gonna die.
G C

Twenty-first century wealth is tight G
America has squandered its industrial might C
A new golden rule is heard G
Control energy and rule the world C
Dictators and tyrants we tolerate A D
Unless we covet their oil G C

Chorus

In the New World Order war’s not the same
Battle is now a big video game
It’s a smart bomb high technology war
We guarantee no blood and gore
The Iraqi people will take the hit
We’ll blow em all to Aphghanistan.
