>>" GWB would not have done this. "<< What the hell are you talking about you lying scumbag. There were no IED dangers to our troops and your son until Bush invaded Iraq looking for WMD he knew were not there and did it to get his family revenge. He thought it was so funny that he videoed himself looking for the WMD under the furniture of the Oval Office to show as a joke to the WH press corp. That is what he did and you make a hero out of the guy. You are sick!

"But even if everybody's suddenly talking, the formal preconditions set by the two main players preclude any serious negotiations. The Taliban says it won't talk until all foreign troops have left Afghanistan; the U.S. says the only basis for a negotiated peace is if the Taliban agrees to cut ties with al-Qaeda, lay down arms and respect Afghanistan's constitution. But each of those positions is unrealistic unless the side holding it believes the other side can be militarily vanquished. Even if it kept to President Obama's summer of 2011 deadline to begin reducing troop levels, the U.S. is not about to cut and run from Afghanistan. Still, the Taliban are reportedly open to talking on the basis of a timeline for U.S. withdrawal. Similarly, while a number of reports suggest Taliban leaders are willing to prevent al-Qaeda operating from Afghanistan, they're unlikely to lay down arms and embrace the Afghan constitution." time.com
