US representatives have met with representatives of the Taliban in Qatar. The two sides are reportedly trying to work out a confidence building measure by staging a prisoner exchange. The Americans will release some Taliban bigwigs being held in Guatanamo, while the Taliban will release an abducted aid worker, a captured American soldier and a member of the Afghan government peace delegation.
As the administration has already announced that it will be withdrawing from Afghanistan by 2014, it would be useful for it to secure a peace agreement with the Taliban that would avoid a repetition of the fall of Saigon in 1975. At that time, the world saw desperate Vietnamese trying to cling to the American helicopter evacuating staff from the embassy. As France has already moved up its withdrawal date from Afghanistan, the momentum towards withdrawal is accelerating.
In terms of the forthcoming elections, a peace accord would win Barack Obama points amongst the war weary American public. Such an advantage would be compounded by the promise of a peace dividend, to be plowed back into American economic reconstruction. Mitt Romney would be seen going against the grain, as his advisers believe that withdrawal is premature and the Taliban are not to be trusted.

Pity Obama's dad didn't prematurely withdraw.
That would be an accomplishment only Barry could be proud of. Having a “peace agreement” with a bunch of thugs who murder women for sport in their soccer stadiums. Good job Barry!
Note the Taliban are being asked to release a previous peace delegate.
Remember when this lying leftist idiot Obama said Afghanistan was the war we should be winning?
Are the little schoolgirls represented in the peace talks? Because they are going to be murdered.
Taliban Releases Horrific Video Executions of 15 Pakistani Soldiers
What a great idea to negotiate with the Taliban! I suggest Romeny send his best guy, Norm Coleman to head the team... he’ll know just how to handle them, and what to do!!
Remember, Romney endorses this position too.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
That picture is great!
I remember when we didn’t negotiate with the bad guys.
Sad
They’ll be running Kabul by June of 2014.
Last time I looked we were the US and we don’t want it.
The timing on this will be critical because two weeks after we stop killing them, they’ll take over again.
Taqiyya:
http://www.islam-watch.org/Warner/Taqiyya-Islamic-Principle-Lying-for-Allah.htm
...
The word “Taqiyya” literally means: “Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one’s beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims.
Falsehoods told to prevent the denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned in the Qur’an and Sunna, including lying under oath in testimony before a court, deceiving by making distorted statements to the media such as the claim that Islam is a “religion of peace”. A Muslim is even permitted to deny or denounce his faith if, in so doing, he protects or furthers the interests of Islam, so long as he remains faithful to Islam in his heart. (See endnotes)
Like many Islamic practices, taqiyya was formed within the context of the culture of Arab tribalism, expansionary warfare, Bedouin raiding and inter-tribal conflict. Taqiyya has been used by Muslims since the 7th century to confuse, confound and divide ‘the enemy’. ...
So the piece agreement will be consummated in mid-October, so that by the time they take over again, the election will be over, and by the time they start killing people again, the electoral college will have convened.
What? Self-determination for those people? They’ll eat what they’re thrown and like it./s
We will have “peace in out time” with 0bama.
Unfortunately, it will be like the last time. Only with less time.
