    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.

              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

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

                          no, it hasn`t ....

                          Gates, who steps down at the end of the month, said there had been contacts between United States and the Taliban in recent weeks, headed by the State Department.

                          ... a striking public acknowledgment of a peace initiative that has been cloaked with secrecy.

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

                                                          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.
