Gee, I guess announcing an exit date wasn't that great of a negotiating tactic after all.

Now on Fox. Reporting that talks with Taliban have collapsed as our surrender date in 2014 is official. Talks were through intermediaries to get some sort of treaty with the terrorists to salvage some shred of respect from Obama's announced surrender. The Taliban refused to release the sole US soldier being held hostage no matter how many terrorists Obama would release from Gitmo. They told Obama, basically, to go to hell.
Our surrender in Afghanistan is now complete, along with the Afghani "allies" upping the murders of US troops.
Full coverage in The Boston Globe.
Why should they talk with us? All they have to do is continue murdering our soldiers and wait for us to leave. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Wonder if Karzai has his off shore bank accounts and future exile home ready?

There’s a surprise....
He's a Muzzie through and through. His country is now weaponized...against who??
But not for nothing...we got rid of a lot of hard nosed scummy muzzies.
Well, I hope Romney mentions this in the debate.
Who were the idiots that thought something useful would come from talking with the Taliban?
It wasn't necessarily wrong talking to the Taliban. Most wars end at the negotiating table. What was wrong was making it clear that the negotiations were merely for the purpose of determining the terms of our surrender.
The talks collapsed? There never have been any meaningful talks with the Taliban, and there never will be.
What a surprise! Unexpected!

Agreed.
More like Jimmy Carter every day.
If you hit them hard enough and keep hitting them it is they who will ask for talks.
They are winning, why should they talk.
And the progs think Obama dealing with the mullahs in Iran will be any different?
What a mess the next President will inherit from this administration...
No, of course not. Bowing and kissing the a$$e$ of filthy taliban is not going to get them to suddenly become civilized and stop the murdering.
“The combatants usually wear uniforms too.”
After WWII, Nazi “werewolf” insurgents attacking allied troops while wearing civilian clothes were promptly executed.
Nazis are not much of a global problem anymore.
The Taliban have the upper hand. They know we’re losing interest and leaving. The country will eventually be theirs.
But then they’ll have to govern it. Good luck with that.
When I first heard of this I was just dumbfounded that ANYONE would even attempt to negotiate with those backward, murdering, raping, women suppressing, barbarians. Seems the "One World" socialists don't remember the photo of the Taliban shooting a woman in a soccer stadium and all their other atrocities that occur on a daily basis, not to mention supporting al-Queda who attacked us on 9/11/01 and are still killing our Troops in Aftganiscrap.
Kinda like the world has forgotten about all the weekly suicide bombings in Israel before they built the wall, and yet blame Israel for not willing to give up their security to the so-called palestinians and Syria. Bill Clinton recently espoused that Israel should go back to pre-1967 borders. Guess he still remembers Hillary kissing Arafat's wife.
I watched a neutral documentary some years back, "The Children of Gaza" on Discovery or History channel, before they got into stupid reality shows. By the end, the female producer walked away in disgust as she witnessed their schools and parents teaching the children to hate anything Jewish or Israeli. Just one example: A child of about 4 and mother were interviewed and the child said she hates Jews. Four years old?
And politicians still believe that if we are "nicey, nice", to the Taliban, Palestinians, et al, and change their centuries old teaching of hate and conquest and adopt Western principles are living in a self-delusional dream world. Won't ever happen!
BTW, where is NOW with all the subjugation, mutilations, rapes, and murders of women in the Muslim world that occur daily? Actually, I like that they have all but disappeared from the political scene. Good riddance.
It’s not so much talking as telling them, “Stop doing that, or we’ll hit you again.” We should be drawing the lines in the sand.
