Karzai's not only crooked,
most of his regime's corrupt.
His army's not worth diddly
and continues to get whupped.
The only thing it's good for
is to stuff a ballot box.
He's another politician
who's discovered money talks.
No way he pays the warlords off
Without outside assistance
He'd be an Ahmad Chalabi
who's failed to go the distance.
American-Afghan "success"
will be in short supply
Unless he fears that we'll go home
and let his troubles multiply
Now's the time to call his bluff:
"Clean up your act or we pull out!"
His vote-rigging makes it clear
he's someone we should do without.
Close the Karzai conduit
so U.S. funds do not finance
His Taliban insurgency
as well as any further rants.
