The U.S. and Afghan governments have begun secret three-way talks with the Taliban, Afghan President Hamid Karzai told The Wall Street Journal, disclosing an important breakthrough in efforts to end the 10-year war.

Mr. Karzai, whose government had protested being left out of recent talks between Washington and the insurgents, added he believes most Taliban are "definitively" interested in a peace settlement.

Not surprising. Our current Secretary of State is an authority on secret three-ways.

Yeah, I can see the negotiators for the Taliban blowing smoke at the US team, just like the talks that ended, in an armistice, the Korean “Conflict”. In fact the talks would go something like this:

US: We need an immediate cease fire, cough cough.
TB: Blows smoke at US delegate.
US: Smoking is not allowed in this room.
TB: Blows more smoke and says, only on your side.
US: OK, let’s get back to cease fire, cough cough.
TB: Blows more smoke, you can stop shooting anytime you like.
US: Finally, a break through. We can agree to that. cough cough.
TB: As you wish, blows more smoke, calls out to the Media.
TB to Media: Secret talks over, US agrees to stop shooting. Tell our Washington mole job well done.

Not so secret. 0bama is negotiating UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER while he unilaterally disarms America and provides aid to our enemies. This FOREIGN DICTATOR usurping the presidency must be removed!

that silent scream you hear is the women of Afghanistan suddenly realizing what is going to happen to them for believing US promises that we were going to defend their education and protect them from honor killings and genital mutilation.

Yep. Negotiating with the Taliban is like negotiating with rapists and serial killers.

That’s very funny. And very sad, too, because our State Department would really do that.

If Obama is committing treason, is Karzai committing treason as well?
