It's been an exciting week for Afghanistan, the reality teevee show where farty military brass compete to see who can cook up the most death and despair using only three ingredients. Our latest contestant, "Dave Petraeus," has an ambitious plan to send an additional 2,000 NATO soldiers to Afghanistan -- probably because he hates them and wishes them ill. This will be an elite multinational force, one comprised entirely of American troops because apparently our NATO allies have prematurely declared the end of combat operations in Afghanistan, like fools. The good news is that Italy has already sent its finest plumber to help with the counter-goomba insurgency.

Is this Surge III or Surge IV? I&#039;ve lost track. Are Roman Numerals OK?
