A move by America to change the scope has failed infinitely - a poem.
Neither contrite, nor incompetent,
A cruel enemy has enticed the U.S. -

Have America fly in
To nation-build a key
Persian Gulf resource -
Wait them out -
Then launch more deadly attacks. 

This long war
Was calculated
To engender a humiliation
Unlike any America has ever sustained.

A clueless Biden
Is now willing to spread
Criminal falsehoods,
Effortlessly pointing fingers.

A focus on the victims
Facing death
Would incarcerate
The commander-in-chief
For a very long time.

While his proclaimed deference
To the newly equipped terrorists
Supports those abandoned
Peacefully through diplomacy…
