Of course, we'll have to fit the FDIC staff with flak jackets before we send them in next Friday. What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe ShoreBank should be handed the job of taking it over.
Or, maybe the gubbermint will just do another 'ShoreBank' rescue. Bail it out and hand it back to the corrupt players who destroyed it first time, and will do it again; whereupon we'll bail it out and hand it back to the corrupt players who destroyed it the second time, and will do it again; whereupon we'll bail it out and hand it back to the corrupt players who destroyed it third time, and will do it again; whereupon we'll bail it out and hand it back to the corrupt players who destroyed it the fourth time, and will do it again...
What could possibly go wrong when the President's brother is handed the keys to the safe of the largest bank in the country?
What do we say to the American, Canadian, British, German, and other allied forces families who have lost children, husbands and fathers to this war?
It would all be laughable, if it weren't so terribly tragic.

Well, There's A Fine How-D'ya-Do
Harmid Karzai appears to be unhappy with his protectors (that would be our military), and threatens to align with the Taliban.
Sot of makes ya' warm and fuzzy all over, thinking about how Our Beloved Leader booked it over to Kabul on Air Force One just after passage of his health care bill, to have a pow-wow with the President of Afghanistan. Not much mentioned about what they talked about, but it appears to not have gone well. Oh, well, there's that couple of million melted away, what with flying the Presidential plane, all the military escorts that fly along, the mid-air refuels of one and all, etc. etc.
In the meantime, Bibi Netanyahu, the president of the one real friend we have on that side of the world, gets publicly dissed when he shows up to meet with The One.
Hmmm...lessee...
How many lives have we lost, US, UK, Canadian, NATO in Afghanistan? How much money have we spent? We've spent a bunch of cash on Israel, too, but at least they do their own soldiering, and know which end of the rifle to point at the bad people.
Girls, put down those school-books, and pull out them burkhas! Turn that damn music off! The Taliban is back in business.
No worries, just smile along with the Beloved Leader, and repeat after him:
Yes, we can!
Yes, we can!
Yes, we can!
Doesn't that feel better now, dearies?
