Obama Adminstration Holds Peace Talks With Taliban in Germany

Another brilliant Obama foreign policy move…
The Obama Administration is holding peace talks with Taliban leaders in Germany according to several foreign reports.
The Local reporeted:
Germany is helping mediate secret, direct talks between the United States and the Afghan Taliban, with meetings taking place on German soil, according to Der Spiegel magazine.
Germany’s special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Michael Steiner is moderating the talks, the latest round of which took place on May 7 and 8 in Germany, the magazine said.
Steiner, a trained judge and long-term diplomat, once headed the UN mission to Kosovo.
The German foreign affairs ministry would not confirm the talks were being held when asked by news agency AFP, but said that Germany, “was supporting efforts to find a political solution” in Afghanistan.
A conference on Afghanistan would be held in Bonn on December 5, the ministry said, at the request of Afghan President Hamid Karzai in November last year.
US President Barack Obama’s administration has been engaged in direct talks with senior Afghan Taliban officials responsible for leading the fight against the western-backed Kabul government, since the autumn of 2010, Spiegel said.
These are the same goons who beat their cloaked women with sticks in public.
This is the same group that was linked to an attempted bombing in Times Square…
But since when does reality matter to this administration?
Of course, we won’t hear a peep from the women’s rights groups over these negotiations.

In Germany, huh? How appropriate.
I could not be more disgusted with a POTUS.
MustComment commented:
Hmm… Now the Taliban? He seems quite comfortable with these “peace talks”, doesn’t he? He didn’t look so “comfortable” talking with Ben Netanyahu…

How many billions of dollars will BO try to bribe this guy with in order to better his 2012 election chances?

John Fembup commented:
That’s one way to get peace – surrender.
And that is exactly how the Taliban read this gesture: it’s a sure sign of weakness; a sure sign to the Taliban that their enemy is retreating; and a sure sign to the Taliban that they are winning this war they declared.
When have you known a bully to back off because you are nice to him?
Me neither.

If he can get the towelheads to cool it until the election he’s up on points for his success in Afgoofystan as he pulls out the troops. Of course the Taliban will be back in cutting heads and stoning rape victims shortly thereafter. It’ll be a real military/diplomatic coup for Dear Reader. Not so much for the Afghanis though.

Where’s John Kerry? Didn’t he meet with Vietcong in Paris?

#7 – more like the Czechs circa 1938, methinks, with WTF playing a malignant Chamberlain. Liberalism is more than a mental illness – it should be a capital crime.
JPeden commented:
The old “Community Organizer” in him means he thinks thugs, criminals, totalitarian-like leaders and tribalists, and other such whack-jobs and parasites are the only kind of people he can make mutually “beneficial” deals with. With them, he’s in his natural element. Really, the guy’s just a born criminal!

Yes, how appropriate that it’s happening in Germany! I can easily imagine PRESIDENT OBAMA there to hold peace talks with Hitler in early 1943…
“LOL! Well, Adolf, how about this… you can bake 1.5 million Jews in your ovens, but you have to get your troups out of Italy.”
Finncrisp commented:
The “Jihad On” policy is now going full swing. Probably next step is to confirm we don’t negotiate with (FOX NEWS) terrorists!
His Irish roots have been revealed at a most interesting time. Not sure how that Jives with the Moslem spring he has declared from the White house.
Molon Lobe commented:
Will they make peace if we hand over the entire Obama and Biden clans to do with as they wish?

the myth will still get the organized women’s vote. they are marxists and their marxism trumps their gender and everything else.

Greetings:
A while back, I was reading T.R. Fehrenbach’s “Comanches: The History of a People” when I came across an incident of the peace negotiations between the Texicans and the Comanches in the mid-1800s. It seem the Texicans invited the Comanches to the meeting in San Antonio. The Comanches, expecting the usual round of extortionate gifts, presented themselves at the local town hall at which point the Texicans locked all the doors and shot the hell out of a bunch of them. The author attributed the loss of many of the Comanche band chiefs that day to their future demise. Just saying. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways; that’s how they got old.
