Clinton says U.S. officials have met with Haqqanis (Obama administration negotiating with terrorist)
Reuters ^ | 10/21/2011 | Andrew Quinn and Chris Allbritton

Posted on 10/21/2011 8:42:01 AM PDT by tobyhill

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday that the United States had held a preliminary meeting with representatives of the Haqqani network, a group of militants Washington has blamed for a series of attacks in Afghanistan.

The revelation came soon after Clinton, in Islamabad with a heavyweight team of U.S. military and intelligence leaders, warned that tough action would have to be taken against Afghan and Pakistani militants if they did not cooperate in efforts to stabilize Afghanistan and pursue peace.

Clinton was asked at a roundtable with journalists about reports that U.S. officials had met with Haqqani representatives directly, even as Washington demanded that Pakistan take a tougher line on the group.

"We have reached out to the Taliban, we have reached out to the Haqqani network to test their willingness and their sincerity, and we are now working among us -- Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States -- to try to put together a process that would sequence us toward an actual negotiation," Clinton said.

They have lied to the west for over 1000 years.

And the person we are sending to see if they are sincere is Hillary Clinton.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

In the end, as we either in a nuclear permafrost or on a prayer rug...or in a Soros/Aldus Huxley/Alex Jones/Orwellian police state gulag...starving, without food or shelter, unarmed and microchipped, can we start with a big “thank you” to every Progressive/Communist starting with Woodrow Wilson up to Obama?

Everything we hold dear and sacred.

The only thing you should negotiate with terrorists is terms of surrender.

THEIR surrender.

“U.S. officials wondered whether an ally that receives billions of dollars in American aid had been sheltering the world’s most wanted man, which Pakistan denies.”

Let’s see now: he was living in a large home just a few blocks from Pakistan’s war college. This might require sending a strongly worded letter repeating our wonderment.

The country is flat broke and the Democrats keep spending money as if that were not true.

That was just a regular Communist ploy. When we are kicking their ass they call for a ceasefire to negotiate for peace. During the talks the Communist side keeps stalling and walking out until their forces have recouped and are ready to fight again. Then the Communist leave the table for good saying we are not willing to negotiate fairly. Then the fighting starts again, usually with a surprise attack on our forces.

This is stupid. It'll cost lives. Haven't these idiots been reading books and reports on this lame arsed cult?

A hudna maybe but this could also be another oportunity to insert demons seeds into the unsuspecting fools just like the 7 CIA agents blown by an allegedly "turned" muslim.

I say turn on them; get them all in one place and end their leadership. Sounds of wars past? Oh yeah, but it's the only way to insure peace and that is to put the killers in the ground for good. There's no other way to deal with these evil dirt clods.

Hillary, they’re not interested in lesbians. See Taliban rape tapes for Haqqani handiwork.
