I’ve mentioned A Pattern before, one clearly visible if one doesn’t have their head in the sand, or anal orifice.<\/p>\n

Jonn noted well a couple of elements in The Pattern with the post below .<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a coupla more:
\nU.S. backs move to let Taliban open headquarters in Qatar in the hope of ending war in Afghanistan<\/a><\/p>\n

Talks to end the 10-year war in Afghanistan could be on the horizon after the U.S. backed a plan to let the Taliban open political headquarters in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is likely to open a base in Qatar before Christmas, The Times said.<\/p>\n

It is hoped this will help facilitate peace talks which could lead to a truce with the Taliban.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then good ol’ Muqi is tuning up his fiddle as well. <\/a><\/p>\n

BAGHDAD -An anti-American cleric is urging his followers to stop attacking U.S. troops in Iraq so that their withdrawal from the country isn’t slowed down, a call meant to ramp up pressure on Baghdad’s political leaders who are considering asking some American forces to stay.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on his website, Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr told his militias to halt attacks against U.S. forces till the withdrawal is finished at the end of the year as required under a security agreement between Washington and Baghdad.<\/p>\n

“Out of my desire to complete Iraq’s independence and to finish the withdrawal of the occupation forces from our holy lands, I am obliged to halt military operations of the honest Iraqi resistance until the withdrawal of the occupation forces is complete,” al-Sadr said in the statement, posted late Saturday. Sadrist lawmaker Mushraq Naji confirmed the statement on Sunday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So we have The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and al-Sadr in Iraq striving to bring peace and love to their occupied, war torn lands.<\/p>\n
