Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters last week that by the end of the year, we could be "turning a corner" in Afghanistan. We've heard this repeatedly in the failing, flailing war in Afghanistan. The war's not making us safer, and it's not worth the cost. It's time to bring the troops home.

1. We've turned so many corners we're smack up against our asses again

:eyes:

2. Lots of corners

6. .

3. When are we going to see "the light at the end of the tunnel"?

4. When you turn the corner more than four times, you're going in a circle.

Plus, if you need to "turn a corner," that means you were headed in the wrong direction this whole time.

How many corners must one army turn before it is headed home?

5. Hey, there's a precedent for that -- Iraq.

And, of course, the more we turn corners, the more we go round and round in circles -- and the more spin we get from the Pentagon.
