Peace Deal in Afghanistan ?

The New York Times: Reports on backroom peace deal talks between the Taliban and the Government of Afghanistan. At a time that Obama has sent over twenty one thousand troops to Afghanistan and is open to sending another ten thousand, one has to ask are these talks serious, the war in Afghanistan is the Just War Obama wanted to fight on the 08 Campaign. Also could a Liberal President hand over Afghanistan to the Taliban. Also more important can any talks be taken at face value, would the Taliban in Afghanistan turn their backs on their brothers in Pakistan and repel the terrorists, that would have to be the deal. It can be postulated that the Taliban need to be beaten more in Afghanistan, and really crushed in Pakistan, before any real talks. Also to be honest I don't see Obama walking away from Afghanistan, as with LBJ with Vietnam, its his War now, if Iraq and Afghanistan go down the toilet Obama wont win in 2012.
