Nostrobama's Miracle
If TARP recipients help with the financing

Nostrobama prophesies
    in nineteen months we'll leave.
Let's hope that he has more than Stan
    McChrystal up his sleeve.

Sure, Stan's an evil genius
    but won't he end up getting fired?
Or will we find, like Palin,
    he's voluntarily retired?

Since Karzai values cronies
    more than he does Afghanistan,
And, like Bush, repays old debts
    the only way he can

With licenses to rip off
    anyone he doesn't need,
That doesn't augur well for Stan.
    He's not Pashtun pedigreed.

But future deals with AIG
    and Timmy Geithner's banks
Could reward Karzai so Stan
    does not end up a Tommy Franks.
