The Taliban's Non-Bluff

I've always enjoyed reading about conspiracy

though many times I don't believe the theory.

I think they're good for expanding your mind.

Sometimes they explain the "coincidences" we find.

I'm a little late learning of the latest lavish scheme

and can't decide if it helped promote good or mean.

Some say that the secret whereabouts of Osama

came from poker sites used by me and yo mama.

On Black Friday they took the three biggest websites down,

causing many online gamblers frustration and a frown.

Supposedly the indictments gave them access to user files

and to the closest friend of the Taliban leader aka SinisterSmiles?

Just kidding... I have no idea what the user's name is

but I wonder if he's a bluffer or odd calculating whiz.

I may very well have played against him in a tournament.

I wonder if he still thinks it was fun money well spent?

They got Osama.  I lost my favorite poker site.

Yet I'm sure new ones are popping up each night.

The way I see it, these sites were targeted for info
because they were the only people who'd know.
They've done some good by helping put an end to an era
but the new leader could be worse! (Sorry to scare ya.)
Like gambling, the Taliban isn't going to stop
just because Uncle Sam took down their Pop.

So, what are we doing calling their non-bluff?
Making sure the world knows that we're tough?
(But also considerate enough to honor religion
by burying him at sea scarcely waiting a smidgen.)
Though we may have the cards to back an all-in bet,
I still think this victory might also bring regret.
