    Little Birds
    Anon
    
    From Grenada’s green jungle hilltops
    To Mogadishu’s fiery desert sky
    Through Panama’s concrete urban sprawl
    The Little Bird unwavering did fly.
    
    Whether delivering precious cargo
    Or protecting brothers on the ground
    Little Bird to hell and back again
    Courage, skill and daring in abundance found.
    
    And while not wearing the eagle’s wide wings
    Many a furious and deadly surprise
    Has been sprung on those foolish enough
    To judge this bird by its size
    
    A word of warning to their enemies:
    The dark of night is your friend no more
    Because Death comes in many forms
    And tonight it’s at your door.

They want to tell the world changes thought - as a matter of fact, they do not respect the world, they want to tell taxpayers and the domestic public to keep them deceived.

            "That bastard the American Minister of Defense Rumsfeld, and I won't say shamelessly, because they don't know what shame means. These are criminals. The whole word can hear the warning sirens. This criminal sitting in the White House is a pathetic criminal and his Defense Minister deserves to be beaten. These criminals lie to the world because they are criminals by nature and conditioning. They consider this a military site! Shame on you! You will forever be shamed!

            %

            "Faltering forces of infidels cannot just enter a country of 26 million people and lay besiege to them! They are the ones who will find themselves under siege. Therefore, in reality whatever this miserable Rumsfeld has been saying, he was talking about his own forces. Now even the American command is under siege."

              (also known as "The SAS Guide to OPSEC")
              
              I. Thou shalt not park thy helicopter in the open, for it bringeth the rain of steel. 
              
              II. Thou shalt not expose thy shiny mess gear, for it bringeth unwanted guests to chow. 
              
              III. Thou shalt not wear white T-shirts, or thine enemies will dye them red. 
              
              IV. Thou shalt provide overhead concealment, for thine enemies' eyes are upon thee. 
              
              V. Thou shalt cover thy tall antenna, for fly swatters groweth not in yon wood. 
              
              VI. Thou shalt use a red lens on thy flashlight, or it shall appear as a star in the East. 
              
              VII. Thou shalt cover the glass on thy vehicle, for the glare telleth thine enemy thy location. 
              
              VIII. Thou shalt blend with thy surroundings, for trees groweth not in yon desert. 
              
              IX. Thou shalt cover the tracks of thy vehicle, for they draweth pretty pictures. 
              
              X. Thou shalt cover thy face, hands, and helmet, for thine enemies maketh war not on bushes. 
              
              XI. Thou shalt not drape thy net on thy tent, for it looketh like tent draped in net. 
              
              XII. Thou shalt hide the wires of thy cammo, for they pointeth to thee. 
              
              XIII. Thou shalt practice the art of dispersion, or one round will finish you all. 
              
              XIV. Thou shalt pick up thy trash and litter, for they exposeth thy presence. 
              
              XV. Thou shalt conceal the noise of thy generator, for thine enemies are listening.
