I wonder who he's talking about?

After reading about the President's new plan for Iraq I had to take another listen to T-Bone Burnett's "The True False Identity".

Palestine Texas (T-Bone Burnett)

Presidents come and presidents go
They rise like smoke they fall like snow
Do you believe the things you say
Your lofty thoughts are filled with hay
What is this faith that you profess
That led to this colossal mess
When you awaken from this coma
You'll find you were in Oklahoma
When you come out of this delusion
You're going to need a soul transfusion

Fear Country (T-Bone Burnett)

The cat's out of the bag and it ain't going back
Your plan has hit a snag it has fallen through the crack

I got a tell on you
I got a tell on you

This is fear Country
This is fear Country
This is fear Country

Five years of mercy and two days of grace
It only took a minute to fall on your face

This is fear Country

Cowboy with no cattle warrior with no war
They don't make impostors like John Wayne anymore
