Obama's Afghanistan –
Karzai's Four-Star Lobbyists
And we thought they worked for us…

McChrystal and the Pentagon
    continued to blow smoke,
Ignoring claims they bought off
    Karzai's myriad kinfolk,

Spending billions on the bastards
    because our four stars lack the smarts
To recognize the Karzai Brothers'
    graft is off the charts.

Like lobbyists with campaign
    contributions in D.C.
For millionaire incumbents
    "representing" you and me,

Are they also Karzai's lobbyists?
    Whose side are these guys on?
Who knew that "K" Street infiltrated
    Bushie's Pentagon?

Yet what are four-star generals for
    if not to foster war
And spend the bucks that politicians
    publicly deplore?
