Taliban In Secret Talks With U.S., Afghanistan
Some Taliban leaders are initiating third-party talks that could lay the groundwork for progress between the U.S. and Afghan governments and the Taliban insurgents. In the video below, Charles Sennott of international news site GlobalPost.com reports on how moderate Taliban leaders are engaged in shuttle negotiations, and have been in contact with Mullah Mohammad Omar, the spiritual leader of the Taliban.
An agreement would call for a halt of Taliban attacks on schools and on those engaged in reconstruction projects, and the Afghan government would agree to release detainees and halt U.S. military attacks on civilians. Watch the video:

ONLY if they give up details of al-Qaeda operations, and the wereabouts of Osama bin ladin. Had they done this after 9/11, they'd be in a better negotiating position.
If they had done that, they would still be running Afganistan and we wouldn't be there.
Too bad they didn't.
directly, The Taliban had NOTHING to do with 9/11.
Would we sit down in "secret" meetings with Osama?
That sound is the Right's galoons
dropping on the deck.
The Taliban having nothing to do with 9/11 strips
Bush totally naked of any "truth" he'd fashioned
to embark upon his great oil crusade.
(A naked George Bush should'nt be inflicted upon the
eyesight of any human being,,,or even a goodly number of
the lower-than-average-human-being's animal forms.)
not sure just yet what kind of an admission,,,
,,,,outside of the admission that we probably
discovered that in the Afghan mountains we cant
run through them like a Toro through
your dandylions.
"Show me yours has stopped and
I'll show you mine has stopped."
And by the way, there would be a good deal fewer civilian casualties in any conflict if one side would quit using civilians as shields. I wonder who fits that description?
I would not trust these guys as far as I could throw them.
As Reagan said "trust but verify".
3000 Americans were murdered by this savages and you want to stick you thumb up your @ss and run away?? ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey chief, you're not over there killing these savages because YOU are a coward.
What do you think we can do, kill them all? You're an idiot.
It's a secret meeting that nobody knows about! Don't tell anybody.
ONLY if they give up details of al-Qaeda operations, and the wereabouts of Osama bin ladin. Had they done this after 9/11, they'd be in a better negotiating position.
Had those Islamic savages al-Qaeda and their Taliban allies not attached the USA, the US Military would not be in Afghanistan. Get your head out of your muzzie @ss and place the blame where it rightfully belongs.
