Obama's Afghanistan
Obama's Mercenaries Protecting our spooks Has David Petraeus found he can't protect The Brothers Karzai and our CIA spooks? Are they forced to rely on those Blackwater thugs, Is Blackwater's Army equipped with our nukes? What Blackwater did to Iraqi civilians Doesn't bode well for Afghans' peace of mind. Our spooks may feel safer, but what can they learn With Blackwater's thugs tailing so close behind? And who's to control them with their boss in Dubai? We can't extradite him if something goes wrong. If only McChrystal had shown the same foresight. Rolling Stone's Arabic isn't that strong. Nor will the semantics of a "drawdown" apply. Their thugs can protect poppy growers forever And never be counted as troops that Obama Is telling Petraeus can start leaving whenever.
