AWOL from the Texas National Guard. George W. told the nation... If you're hunkered in Fallujah, Wonderin', who it was, who screwed ya, Wonderin', what became of “Shock and Awe!”, You are feelin' semi-certain,   By now you're more, than certain, It has to do with Halliburton: Dick Cheney's, why you drew that fatal straw. George W. told the nation...
