Humoring Obama
Will McChrystal be awarded a Silver Star?

More concerned with compromise
    than getting something worthwhile passed?
Our hero's legacy looks like
    it's pro'bly going to be half-assed.

Between A.I.G. Geithner
    and Afghanistan corruption,
Is not McChrystal's lobbying
    a comic interruption?

Is Stan promoting "friendly fire"
    to win himself a Silver Star,
Or hoping to be featured
    in a Taliban bazaar?

Who'll get to Stan McChrstal first?
    Pat Tillman's ghost or Mac's own troops?
If he gets in the line of fire,
    please pray his epitaph reads, "Oops…"
