Karzai's Dilemma
Another friendly family fracas?

Hamid Karzai's in a panic;
    says he fears he's being used.
Nostrobama said we're leaving;
    Hamid's wife is not amused.

Despite the generous prenuptials,
    she knows he's got no way to pay
Without continued NATO backing
    and tribute from the CIA.

It's bad enough most Afghans hate him
    and would cheer were he done in,
But to risk assassination
    by someone ugly as sin?

We've seen that Tiger's wife's a beauty
    though she seemingly has claws.
Hamid keeps his wife well hidden.
    Why? His standard answer: "Minor flaws…"

If Nostrobama's prophecy
    can end a few four-star careers,
How long before the Widow Karzai
    chucks the veil and reappears?
