Wow this is a first...US in peace talks with Taliban
 

Wow never thought i would see this But hope it saves lives in the end


The US is engaged in talks with the Taliban, Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said, in the first high-level confirmation of US involvement.

Mr Karzai said that "foreign military and especially the US itself" were involved in peace talks with the group.

Hours later, suicide bombers attacked a Kabul police station, killing nine.

Earlier this month, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said there could be political talks with the Taliban by the end of this year.

The US is due to start withdrawing its 97,000 troops from Afghanistan in July.

It aims to gradually hand over all security operations to Afghan security forces by 2014.

Since Reagan created Taliban and helped the rise of Osama...I guess its the 2nd time in US history...

could have just done this 10 years ago and saved a lot of headaches

The CIA funded the Taliban so part of a Problem>Reaction>Solution tactic, the solution being war; always watch out for those money bags of "Foreign Aid"

The Taliban have now served their purpose. The fake suicide bomb thing is to justify why we can't pull out until 2014

Along similar lines to the fake suicide bombs, here's an interesting clip on Drop Weapons for those interested

cooler peace talk would to be just wipe them all out

Our government has not offered any confirmation of Karzai's statement at this point in time.

no, it hasn`t .... :1orglaugh

That Gates guy is NOT Bill Bates, the MS guy ...

,, like if your government is always straight forward and truthful .... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

peace makers, yeah right

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

theking owned again. Time to stage another fake death?

The Taliban offer to surender when Obama took office but the US turned them down.

Pigshit.

One statement made at one point in time another statement made today...a different point in time.

Exactly :2 cents:

Why would we "want" to stay there until 2014? Bush is out of office....

It did not hit MSM here because there would have been pressure to end the god damn endless war.

Bush also rejected the Taliban's offer to hand over Osama.

So we can use Afghanistan as a launching pad to invade other countries. Because Obama has the same policies as Bush.

the have been in some sort of talks ever since the invasion started.

I am aware of this and that is not an offer of peace...and President Bush did not reject an offer from the Taliban to hand over Osama.
