It Would Be Funny...

...if it weren't so pathetic, obvious, and predictable.

Guerrillas fired mortar shells and used small arms to attack the major US military base in south Afghanistan, Qandahar Airfield, on Saturday. The operation was the third major attack by insurgents during the past week.

[...]

The bold attacks come as President Barack Obama addressed West Point cadets, declaring victory in Iraq and predicting a similar positive outcome in Afghanistan. Obama alleged that the US was withdrawing from a now-democratic Iraq that would not be a platform for attacking the US, implying that Afghanistan would be brought to a similar end-state.

Of course we could have declared victory years ago –that "Mission Accomplished" moment would have been a good point.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
