"Doh!"

There's been talk lately about negotiating with the insurgents in Afghanistan.
Let's see how that might go:
"We will remove all American troops from your country if you will promise not to attack American troops in your country."
"Okay."
"There, I guess we showed them . . . Hey, wait a minute . . .
