Karzai announces peace talks as Afghans take over security

You can’t have peace talks with the Taliban, they can’t be trusted. Their only goal is to spread radical Islam to everyone.

Yeah after we had our kids slaughtered (NATO forces) and it’s time for Afghans to take over and our money will quit flooding in …Karzai thinks ….hmmmm maybe it’s time ti stop the war!

Peace with the Taliban = surrender.

I guess Karzai figured he’d milked and bilked the US out of enough money … for now.

US involvement delayed the inevitable and caused thousands of unnecessary deaths. And the country is still a shambles. (Of course, Karzai the Korrupt is rich.) In the words of Pete Seeger, “When will they ever learn?”

Afghans taking over their own security. Now there is a novel idea after 10,000 years of “civilazation”. The Iraqis seem to be doing quite well after our intervention there.

US is not going anywhere , not with all that rich opium/poppy fields just sitting there unattended.

greetings you can not trust the Taliban, its too bad Karzai is a crook he will take the money and run and once again the everyday people of Afghanistan will be punished

Guess you can’t buy hearts and minds with billions of Amerikan dollars but I bet we could have paid a whole lot less for their fear and respect. . The good news is there is even more opium.

Go ahead Karzai, “lose your head” by cozying up to those who see you as a remaining symbol of their political humilation. Sure, they’ll forgive and forget. What about your people? Are you going to throw them under the bus and initiate the process that will return them to the brutality and suffering they suffered under these devils?

I wonder when we will find out how much (per year) the U.S. will have to pay the Taliban to keep the peace with Afghanistan.

Karzai’s troops may start deserting en masse. Their chances of survival are better, if the Taliban takes them in.

This may be a major turning point for the Afghan “war.” Obama may not have the luxury of time, when it comes time to pull U.S. forces out. The ‘new’ Afghan army may become more of a threat than the Taliban.
