U.S. and Afghan officials reportedly have reached a tentative agreement on a critical security pact -- which would include President Obama writing a letter to the Afghan people acknowledging mistakes during the "war on terror."

According to Reuters, an Afghan spokesman said Tuesday that Obama agreed to write the letter, to be presented with the draft security pact at a meeting of tribal elders later this week.

The New York Times, citing a spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai, reported that Secretary of State John Kerry proposed the letter in a conversation with Karzai.

My comment was not a condemnation of our honorable troops but a condemnation of the Afghan people as a collective carbuncle on the face of humanity that needs to be lanced, purged, and then disinfected.

Why don’t they just make him write:

“I am sorry I am so good at killing people”, 1,000 times?
