The government of Pakistan, a Pakistan that created and controls the Taliban, is incensed that we are sending drones into Paki airspace to dispose of the Taliban we are lucky enough to find, all the while professing to be our friend and happily accepting our money. The Paki government has recently closed the route through Pakistan for our supply columns, and the columns have come under attack by Taliban forces, whom the Paki government insists are not in Pakistan. Our State Department and the UN and assorted EU weenies deplore the drone attacks as counter-productive and reckless, preferring the age old failed policy of talking nicely to someone who is trying to kill you.
My goodness me, I feel so faint
These cold war types would like to paint
The Pakistani folk as not our friends
Believe me when I say that I
Could sit right down and softly cry
When thinking how this crisis likely ends
We send our drones into their space
With no regard for Paki face
What sovereign nation wouldn’t take offense
Such actions on our part I fear
Will hinder peace that’s very near
And cause relations that grow very tense
What we at State would like to see
Is just a change of policy
From warring, bombing, killing and the rest
To talking calmly with the tribes
And taking note of nuanced vibes
While recognizing we at State know best
Of course there’s danger in this tack
We’re not assured they’ll love us back
But I am quite prepared to bet my life
But just in case push comes to shove
I know that I will come to love
The burqa and the veil I bought my wife
