Obama's Wars –
Boom, Baby, Boom! Lowering it on BP and Karzai Spend hundreds of millions on drilling techniques, But zero on how to clean up after leaks. Fuel expectations for what they'll repay. Renegotiate later. Enjoy the dismay. Spend billions on Karzai and his Afghan elite, Prolonging the war. But the man in the street? Feed the corruption ever larger amounts And turn a blind eye to Dubai bank accounts. These are ripoffs we need to do something about, But here and abroad we are being psyched out: "A short moratorium before they resume" For many more years till we lower the boom… One author of counterinsurgency's gone Replaced by another four star leprechaun, One who's not saying he thinks we can win – But one who'll waste billions on Karzai and kin. Here at home we have Salazar itching to drill With the same empty promises never to spill, And still improvising when they screw up again… Boom, baby, boom! It is not if, but when!
