The Afghan government stalled the peace process with the U.S. on Wednesday, citing what it says is an American contradiction between what it says and what it does.
A statement from the Afghan National Security Council appeared on the website of President Hamid Karzai confirming the government of Afghanistan would suspend the ongoing talks in Kabul over the Bilateral Security Agreement. This agreement will define the post-2014 coalition presence in Afghanistan after the U.S. withdraws all combat troops.
The news comes less than a day after the U.S. confirmed it would begin peace talks with the Taliban later this week in Doha, Qatar.
"In view of the contradiction between acts and the statements made by the United States of America in regard to the Peace Process, the Afghan government suspended the negotiations," according to the statement. It did not provide details for this decision.
A senior White House official said Tuesday that the Taliban had confirmed it will participate in the peace process and denounced the use of Afghanistan as a base for international terrorist operations. The level of trust between Afghans and Taliban fighters is "extremely low, as one would expect," the official said.
is he doing us a favor, all these years blood and money and he carrys it like this, i feel that could be a Blessing.
we stop the flow of money designate that to homeland security, we are pretty much there now no cooperation from him let them have their own and we protect our own and cultivate those relations that are already in place, after all these countries we are in conflict with what are they doing now to boost our and their economies?  they just cost us.
Peace talks between the Taliban and the U.S. are predicated on the fighters agreeing to accept the Afghan constitution, including protections for women and minorities, and agreeing to negotiate directly with the Afghan government.
when does it become so cost effective that we stop the insanity of trying to be the worlds conscious, they have their beliefs as we do, would we stand for them converting us?  not long ago some righty was saying that the Muslim were trying to set up Sharia law here they all pooped their pants and set their hair on fire, but when they do it to others it's spreading Democracy, well if what we have especially the right wing influence is what the base that democracy on then no wonder they are kicking and screaming to get away.
we can let those who want to maintain centuries of custom have it and still be a power, we don't need to flash it they know it. we need to calm the F down.
