Why do we have to negotiate with the Taliban - all those people - especially all those Afghans let alone our own boys - died for nothing? Are we doing this just to keep Karzai in power? Thank heavens the talks have broken down at least for now.Gulf Times - 07 August, 2013
Taliban supreme leader Mullah Omar has blamed the US and its
allies for creating ‘obstacles’ in the path of peace in Afghanistan following
the opening of the group’s Political Office in Qatar.
In an Eid message released to the media yesterday, the elusive leader also warned that the Taliban would not stop their attacks until all the US and Nato troops withdraw from Afghanistan, and rejected all aspirations of the US and Kabul administrations to have a continued presence of foreign troops after 2014.
