Funding The Taliban
Corruption here and there

Who funds the Afghan Taliban?
    Who provides their "spoils of war"?
Here it's called "protection money",
    what Congress hits up Aetna for.

Call them "shakedowns" or "extortions".
    It's the percent the Taliban
Gets from foreign aid assistance,
    plus something extra for The Man.

The Man is Hamid Karzai.
    The assistance comes from us.
On Wall Street and in Congress
    that's referred to as cost plus.

How sad they'd blow taxpayer dollars
    on a health care plan deserter.
But using them to kill our boys?
    They're accomplices to murder!

Who was so naïve to think that
    this would not occur?
A conduit like Karzai's where
    corruption's de riguer?

Not that we don't have our share.
    Watch what Steny Hoyer does
To obfuscate and scuttle any
    public health care plan "becuz…"
