Yellow Cake for Everyone (Free verse) by Retaliate

Baby's got cake for breakfast Baby's got water from a drum Baby's got radiation sickness Because the army doesn't care about uranium Looter's got a barrel full of cake Looter's gonna make himself some dough Looter's gonna make himself connections And then just sit back and watch the show W knew exactly where the cake was W knew the looters would know too If W really cared about uranium Don't you think he'd guard the yellow cake we knew?

There is also an army scientists who believes that UFOs have a secret base inside his brain, so just because one person believes something doesn't make it true.

That doesn't mean I'm defending the use of depleted uranium necessarily I'm just saying that the Army has studied depleted uranium for 50 years, and either they are telling us the truth that depleted uranium holds no real hazards or there has been a systematic subversion of science for 50 years. If the latter is true then something fundamentally has gone wrong with how our nation conducts research. You cannot lead the world in science if you are making it up. Nature does not lie to other countries and will not tell you the truth if you do not seek it.

The Army is not a single individual but it is a single concept that I think has fair use here. If Bush says something, people say, "America this morning said...". If Bush can speak for America then certainly the head of the Army speaks for the Army.
