Taliban Peace Talks
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, formerly known as the Taliban, has opened an office in Qatar to hold peace talks with the US.
The talks were cancelled when doomed Afghan president Karzai expressed displeasure that the office has the appearance of a shadow government under the Taliban flag.
It turns out the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan office isn’t any more sovereign than our consulate in Banghazi. The cops came in and took down their flag.
The talks might be on again.
Eerily similar to Vietnam in ’72-’73. Taliban will negotiate a peace knowing full well we will be out in ’14.
What good do you think any agreement will be then?
