#1 Pantano is a scapegoat, set up to catch all of the flack from any collateral damage that might arise from the hair-trigger fighting imposed on Iraq theater troops, by the terrorists. Washington bureaucrats have ordered theater commanders to peddle Pantano as a supposed bad-apple. Marines know that Pantano played by the same rules of engagement as they do. Obviously, the State Department advised the Joint Chiefs that if they want to practice quick-draw tactics, then they will need a patsy, who will be pillorized for alleged excessive force. Marines stand together.

#4 In prison cell I sadly sit -
A d-d crestfallen chappy!
And own to you I feel a bit-
A little bit - unhappy!

It really ain't the place nor time
To reel off rhyming diction-
But yet we'll write a final rhyme
While waiting cru-ci-fixion!

No matter what 'end' they decide-
Quicklime? or 'b'iling ile? sir!
We'll do our best when crucified
To finish off in style, sir!

But we bequeath a parting tip
For sound advice as such men
As come across in transport ship
To polish off the Dutchmen!

If you encounter any Boers
You really must not loot 'em,
And if you wish to leave these shores
For pity's sake don't shoot 'em!

And if you'd earn a D.S.O.-
Why every British sinner
Should know the proper way to go
Is: 'Ask the Boer to dinner'!

Let's toss a bumper down our throat
Before we pass to Heaven,
And toast: 'the trim-set petticoat
We leave behind in Devon.'

- Harry "Breaker" Morant
