Peace and stability is the only goal, there is no prize when this is over. If I hear of any pipelines being buit for the US I will forever be making it an issue of shame.
It's about paying off the Taliban to lay down their arms, you can sugar coat it as much as you like, but it is evident you have little understanding of what is really going on there, have you ever been there?
My friend is out there right now reporting,The west have never left Afghanistan alone, The US have been using these people for decades. Their problems have been created by the west in the first place,mainly the US, we are trying to fix the monster we have created.
@oldskoolchopperboy Karzai has been pleading with the US for a long time to negotiate, this has been ignored, The US actually wants control of the region, The UK is taking the lead in Peace talks, President Karzai has said today that it is the UK at the forefront not the US, the last thing the US wants is to stop now, it totally puts the brakes on their ambitions.
You talk about winning and compare to Vietnam, the US will win nothing in Afghanistan,
Are you aware that in 1996, the Taliban were engaged by US oil company Unocal, which hoped to build an oil export pipeline through Afghanistan, that pipeline can only go ahead if the US has control of the situation, this Taliban buyout plan undermines that ambition, because President Karzai, wants the US to stop its offensive against the Taliban his aim is to keep control of Afghanistans security in the hands of Afghan forces,
@oldskoolchopperboy The prize is likely to be denied to the US if Karzai, wins diplomatic and security control. This is why he is now using Britain as his closest ally in negotiations.
