The US Warship Abraham Lincoln sailed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, and was not shot at, sunk, or threatened in any way that any talk of war between Iran and the west would suggest.
Also, the head of the World Bank is stepping down.
The Lincoln floated through the Strait, and lo,
We didn’t have a war. I do confess
I wonder at the battling finesse
Of any nation willing to forego
A modicum of evidence of guilt
For an assassination. Diplomat
Or scientist, the murderer is at
The very echelons and at the hilt
Of power in Iran, or Israel. Words
Between the two are thrown about, but we
In these United States have quietly
Positioned here a fleet. Observe, it herds
A warship through the waves. Debate is free,
But better still to think logistically.
And also, Robert Zoellick’s stepping down,
And Hillary’s suggested for the crown.
(It's given some conservatives a frown.)
