The White House: Here are some of the extracts from the news today that the US will talk to the Afghan Taliban, " At the same time, we also want to discuss today an important development as it relates to the political and reconciliation pillar of our strategy, which is the opening of a Taliban office in Doha for the purpose of negotiations with the Afghan government in pursuit of reconciliation....So later today in Doha, the Taliban will release a statement that says two things: First, that they oppose the use of Afghan soil to threaten other countries; and second, that they support an Afghan peace process. These are two statements which we've long called for and together, they fulfill the requirements for the Taliban to open an office, a political office, in Doha for the purposes of negotiation with the Afghan government...a process that, after 30 years of armed conflict in Afghanistan, will certainly promise to be complex, long and messy, but nonetheless, this is an important first step.....The outcome of this process marks that the Taliban and other insurgent groups meet three end conditions: First, that they break ties with al Qaeda; that they end the violence; and that they accept Afghanistan’s constitution, including its protections for women and minorities. Further, recognizing that the opening of the office later today is but one milestone on the path toward peace, we call on the Afghan government and the Taliban to begin direct negotiations soon....I would add is that as we pursue this path to peace with this important first step today, our core goal in Afghanistan is always primary, and that is to defeat al Qaeda and ensure that Afghanistan can never again be a safe haven for international terrorism. While the peace process is just beginning in earnest today with the opening of the Doha office, our troops continue to serve alongside Afghan troops in the mission in Afghanistan. We plan to continue our robust support to the Afghan security forces, including through our commitments we made at the NATO Summit in Chicago just a year ago....But neither do we plan to let up in our fight against international terrorism in Afghanistan, or in our support to Afghan forces who, as my colleague mentioned, today in Kabul, assumed the lead for operations throughout the country. Our military and diplomatic efforts continue to be mutually reinforcing. ....".
Lets Get Real:
All very noble aims folks, just one FACT, the US and the UK has lost in Afghanistan, how long will the US keep a force there, they will come under attack the moment the majority of US forces are gone, the Taliban can say what they like, THEY LIE, it can be postulated that that Afghanistan will return to state of Civil War within six months to a year, the US as did the British Empire will uses military bases in Pakistan to keep an eye on the Taliban, and send in the drones if they see trouble. The Taliban can just wait folks, invaders from Alexander to Obama can NEVER beat the clock when it comes to Afghanistan. As blog does feel sorry for the women of Afghanistan, their lives will be hell once the Taliban retake Kabul and take control of Afghanistan, the War in Afghanistan will be like the Korean War, as time goes by the forgotten war, the War with no clear victory, it will be seen as a mistake, much like Vietnam and Iraq, and those that died and carry the costs of the War will have died and suffered for nothing, that is the sad part folks, it was ALL FOR NOTHING at the end of the day.
