US turns to the Taliban


Since their hasn't been any comment in the international papers about this, I'm glad to have found this one online:
Caving In - Guess who's appeasing the Taliban now?


Just wondering, if we will here any news about this 'rumour' this week.

As Blackadder's mum said, when she believed she had found him in bed with a sheep, "It's not the sheep I mind so much, darling, it's the deception..."

Seems to be "kind of true" - at least, I heard a radio reporter (from Afghanistan) saying similar today.

Walter - i found links to the same two articles at http://www.tompaine.com/blog.cfm/ID/8172

Looks like the bloggers have been following this.



(i was there for this article -
Quote:
A Five-Year Cakewalk link
In an Associated Press article announcing the creation of an Iraqi army (reprinted by Salon.com), we find this quote:

"I don't think the American people fully appreciate just how long we are going to be committed here and what the overall cost will be," said Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., after meeting the head of the civil administration, L. Paul Bremer. "I predict as much as five years," added Richard Lugar, R-Ind., the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Is anyone else surprised to hear GOP lawmakers say this with such certainty? It's high time for the Bush administration to 'fess up that they've botched this operation entirely, and do what they should have done from the beginning. That is, first, show a little respect and humility. Then work through the United Nations, which is still willing to help clean up the mess it warned would result from this folly.
