Report: Taliban, Afghan leaders in secret talks to end war

Pact would include Taliban figures in government, withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops

WASHINGTON — Secret talks to end the war in Afghanistan have begun between representatives of the Taliban and the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, The Washington Post reported on its website Tuesday night.

Afghan and Arab sources cited by the Post said they believe for the first time that Taliban representatives are fully authorized to speak for the Quetta Shura, the Afghan Taliban organization based in Pakistan, and its leader, Mohammad Omar, according to the newspaper. The sources requested anonymity to discuss the development.

Omar's representatives have shunned negotiations in the past, insisting that all foreign troops withdraw first. However, the Post reported that its sources said the Quetta Shura has begun to talk about a comprehensive agreement that would include participation of some Taliban figures in the government and the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops

Report: Taliban, Afghan leaders in secret talks to end war

This war needs to end. It is an illegal war. It shouldn’t of happened in the first place. Too many people have died. Innocent civilians have been murdered by our own soldiers.

Our soldiers need to come home they are losing their minds. Just recently in the news, we heard about American soldiers collecting body parts from those they have killed. It is time to end this. No one wins in this war. There are no winners.

Too many lives have been lost. Most soldiers do not even know what  they are fighting for. They are tired of fighting.

It is time to take care of are own for a change. It is time for each nation to take care of them selves.
