Remember that time we went to war in Afghanistan? Yeah, well, apparently that's sort of over now, technically speaking. On Sunday, President Obama issued a statement declaring that We Won Woo Hoo! -- or, more accurately, we've concluded our "combat mission." We've come to understand this means we've won the war enough that we can share a collective celebratory high five, but we reserve the right to un-win the war, just in case it doesn't stick. Because that's how the U.S. of A rolls now.
Our combat mission in Afghanistan is over? Great; that's just ducky. After all the trouble I went to just to learn to spell "Kabul", and now I'll never get to use that skill.
My deadbeat brother-in-law enlisted and went to Vietnam. He enlisted because it was that or jail. Apparently robbing a liquor store is the act of a hero saint.

Sunday was VA Day? Is it too late for me to go to Times Square and kiss a nurse in an iconic photo?

Our long national nightmare is over!

When did Barry become a neocon? &#039;cuz that speech sounds like something from Bush/Cheney&#039;s speechwriters.
Good. Now maybe Aunt Mabel will stop crocheting those ugly Freedom Shawls.
The 13,000 &#039;advisers&#039; who will remain in Afghanistan beg to differ.

Victory in Afghanistan! Now we can concentrate on fighting religious zealots who are trying to take over some other country.

I know the pill is purple, but I didn&#039;t know it turned your heart purple too.
The Obama Mission Accomplished picture will need a bigger codpiece.
