As part of the accelerating, high-stakes diplomacy, Reuters has learned, the United States is considering the transfer of an unspecified number of Taliban prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay military prison into Afghan government custody.

It has asked representatives of the Taliban to match that confidence-building measure with some of their own. Those could include a denunciation of international terrorism and a public willingness to enter formal political talks with the government headed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

The officials acknowledged that the Afghanistan diplomacy, which has reached a delicate stage in recent weeks, remains a long shot. Among the complications: U.S. troops are drawing down and will be mostly gone by the end of 2014, potentially reducing the incentive for the Taliban to negotiate.

U.S. troops are drawing down and will be mostly gone by the end of 2014, potentially reducing the incentive for the Taliban to negotiate .. opening up the non-compliant Afghans and remaining non fanatic muslim sane populations, Afghan security forces and humane NGOs to brutal slaughter by these savage beasts.

Oh yeah .. I'm so sure the "Tolleyban" will jump to Obama's pretty please request to revoke their neanderthal ways and come into the 18th century of civility and promise keeping. You just can't make up this kind of twisted idiocy and demented calculation ...

God bless and protect those left as the victims of these insane bureaucrats in DC.

“Why? Because I have arbitrary promises to keep...”

[Old Sarge]

Appeasers and collaborators.

There was a time once, in France, when the word “collaborator” was the worst possible insult.

This century, it seems to becoming a way of life.

F U B O!
