Let’s pull our troops from both the Stans
No later than tomorrow noon.
My trust’s as swift as any man’s,
But now I’m quicker to impugn
Islamabad. That huge abode—
Bin Laden’s—loomed just down the road.
And close enough to blow a kiss?
The nation’s military school.
Like hiding in Annapolis
And having Washington to fool.
Except some Pakistanis knew.
A walled-off fortress! Wouldn’t you?
Last month in Afghan Kandahar,
Five hundred Taliban in jail,
From cells with doors somehow ajar
Jumped down a hole and made their bail.
They crawled a tunnel freshly dug.
Had guards done more than give a shrug?
In ridding them of terrorists
It seems sometimes we’re all alone.
If such dishonesty persists,
Let’s now and then send in a drone
But risk not one more warrior’s life
In lands where villainy’s so rife.
Thank God (and Allah) Navy Seals
An CIA all made it back.
Near worldwide jubilation steals
Jihadist myth with their attack.
Osama’s deep below the sea,
His washed-out place in history.
