What Are Wars For? When melancholy Danes are involved No matter what our hero claims Afghanistan's a civil war The only diff'rence from Iraq's is what plunder we fight for. If you remember, Wolfowitz snookered Bushie and his veep, Assuring both of them and us we'd get Iraq's oil on the cheap But Fogh Rasmussen's Afghan war, without the lure of rich oil fields, Is essentially concerned with who beefs up their poppy yields. Fogh badly needs Stan and his troops to cultivate and pull the weeds, Acknowledging all he expects from Karzai are his brothers' seeds. So who approved this combination of Danish guile and double dealing? McChrystal on his hands and knees? The Pentagon will hit the ceiling. If only Fogh would use Tim Geithner – Experience is what he needs, Negotiating on behalf of Goldman's stake in Burpee seeds.
