(163 posts)16. Hegseth's Undoing
Reports from the coast say, in stride,
A strike left two clinging alive.
But whispers then spread
Of a follow-up said
Just per news accounts, not verified.
The papers described quite a shock:
A command that could bend every law on the block.
Though all thats been told
Is what journalists hold
Allegations that rightly raise talk.
Drone footage, the story relates,
Showed survivors who clung to their fates.
Then a claim made in print
Cast a serious tint
Though its only what one source narrates.
Off Trinidads coastline they say
A mission went sideways that day.
And the Post wrote a line
Of an order defined
But again, thats just reporting, not sway.

If we don't prosecute Hegseth ourselves, The Hague should stick him in Slobodan Milosevic's old cell.
