The Taliban, which harbored al Qaeda in Afghanistan in the lead up to the 9/11 attacks on America in 2001, will have an office in Afghanistan and engage in direct talks with the democratic government there, President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai affirmed at a joint White House news conference Friday.
Ultimately security gains must be matched by political progress, so weve recommitted our nations to a reconciliation process between the Afghan government and the Taliban, Obama said. President Karzai updated me on the Afghan governments road map to peace, and today we agreed that this process should be advanced by the opening of a Taliban office to facilitate talks.
Karzai agreed this would be an important step for the peace process.

Admin,
Please delete post 82 if it exceeds bandwidth, I didn’t realize how big the picture was.

There’s already a Taliban and a Muslim Brotherhood office in the White Hut.

The terrorists' camels really have their snouts inside a bunch of tents, now....don't they?
Looks like the Big Move underway now, aided and abetted by El Hussein.
Well, Rush stated many times he'll tell us when to panic......

A Taliban office. What could go wrong?
Why not a Taliban office in the Congressional Offices in DC or even one in the White House? Doesn’t the Muslim Brotherhood work out of our WH these days? Of course, another idea would be Pelosi’s extra office or, perhaps, Dingy Harry’s house?
I agree. It’s time to just put a big fence around the place and let them kill each other. Why do we care?
LOL. The Taliban office will have immediate access to third and fourth in line decision makers with little to no foreign relations experience.
All we have to do now is agree on the shape of the table.
Interesting question isn't it. If the German armor under Rundstedt had not halted south of Dunkirk on Hitler's orders, but rather gone full speed across the bridgeheads over the canals and destroyed the British/French/Belgian armies, there would have been no miracle evacuation at Dunkirk, Britain would have had to pull out of the war as a ground fighting force, and history would have been very different.
Makes one wonder.
Obama: Sounds like a good start to negotiations to me.
There might really be a Santa Claus and Easter bunny too. Watch what they do there, and tell me how many of the maniacs in charge display "rationality" in their conduct and appear amenable to a "reasonable approach." Let us know when you find one.
Wow. Was this written by the Obama Department of State?
