Kevin sends us links from TOLONews<\/a> the first of which reports that Karzai is urging the US to release all of the Taliban prisoners who are held at Guantanamo into the wild so they can get on with their pathetic lives;<\/p>\n

“On the issue of the release of the Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo, we are fully in support of that. We actually sent a delegation three months ago to Guantanamo prison where Taliban prisoners were interviewed. We want the release of those Taliban figures and we want them to have the freedom to settle where they want,” Karzai said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hopefully, they’ll decide to settle in the back of a Ryder rental truck with a few tons of explosives outside of Karzai’s residence. Karzai went on to claim that his government was deep in negotiations with the Taliban to reach a peace agreement. The Taliban responded<\/a> “Yeah, no we’re not”;<\/p>\n

Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahed denied the claim, saying that a delegation of the Taliban had attended a research conference on Afghanistan at Doshisha University of Japan’s Kyoto city, but never negotiated with the Afghan government nor agreed to do so.<\/p>\n

“The Islamic Emirate of Taliban was officially invited to a research conference at Japan’s Doshisha University in Kyoto city on June 27. The Emirate’s delegation attended the conference but there were no negotiations or agreement between us and a delegation from the government. We strongly reject the false and irresponsible statements of Karzai,” the statement said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, that’s because of the contentious nature of negotiating with terrorists. As we mentioned the other day<\/a>, the Taliban is splintering into groups who are bombing each other. So even if the Karzai government reaches an agreement with the Taliban, what would the agreement be worth, since, obviously, not all of the Taliban would abide by such an agreement – reinforced by some wackos freshly released from Guantanamo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
