two-faced

The Pakistanis leased binLaden space
Wahhabi puritanic man-cave pad
within the aegis of their army base
he operated from Abbotabad.
The master strategist surprised in bed
attempted what his underlings do best

two bullets made a pilaf of his head;
it's rarely prudent to resist arrest.
Musharref claimed to share Obama's view
and parrot talking points he'd learned by heart.
What we'd agreed was rarely what he'd do
duplicity exalted to an art.
Untrusted ally, best among the rats
Islamabad's a Hell for diplomats.
