In a column ostensibly about former Prez Clinton’s panic over his receding “legacy,” Ann Couter gets a bit, er … side tracked:

The Afghan ‘negotiation phase’ immediately precedes the traditional Afghan’s ‘surrender phase.’ This entails the following: The defeated party surrenders and then comes out shooting. This is repeated several times. Finally, the vanquished party runs out of ammunition and is forced to surrender — but seriously this time — at which point the victors kill the foreigners and hug their fellow Afghans like long-lost brothers.

Afghans are big on ending wars this way so they can get back to the serious business of cockfighting.
