Get this... There was refurbished home used by the international church in Kabul. The Afghan caretakers continued to protect the property while the Soviets and Taliban were in charge. A mortar hit the building and they put out the fire. When the international Christians (working in NGOs) returned, nothing had been touched and everything was caked with thick layers of dust.

They are requesting that to give their rule legitimacy.

“What exactly does that mean.”

I think it probably means keep the embassy open, and recognize the Taliban as the legitimate Government.

Hillary would be perfect for the job.

I was thinking along the lines of finding an al qaeda K
controlled valley and nuking it with a low yield device
and telling the Taliban, OK, this could happen to you
if you don’t abide with any agreements we make.

But then I’m just deplorable.

i recommend michael moore for the job...

They need to be able to deliver the ransom notes and videos of Americans groveling and pleading for help.

I’m curious as to if the Vatican will recognize this new government.

I guess he could stand to lose a few pounds.

Taliban/US Training Center for all the free sh*t they got.

Terrorists are making the USA negotiate. The USA is now looked upon as weak,feeble and dithering.

My response to the bombing would be pure hell unleashed until they begged for mercy. No general or president talked like that since WWII.

Who would want to man that office??

[FreedomForce]

It means they’re scared of ISIS and want us to help them fight ISIS.

[dfwgator]

I think ISIS and Taliban are playing “good cop/bad cop”.

Don’t fall for it.

[Pollard]

A liaison between the Taliban and Obama & Jarret?

[heavy metal]

it would be entertaining to see him put on that isis quick weight loss program...

I guess we’re going to be pals now. Like the Odd Couple.
