NYTimes confirms: Obama negotiating with the Taliban!

UNREAL:

— American officials have met with a senior aide to the fugitive Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, at least three times in recent months in the first direct exploratory peace talks, officials in the region said.

The meetings have been facilitated by Germany and Qatar but American officials have been present at the meetings each time, meeting with Tayeb Agha, who is a close personal assistant to Mullah Omar, the officials said. Officials of the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department have been involved in the meetings, one official said.

The meetings were first reported by the Washington Post last week and the German magazine Der Spiegel. A senior Afghan official and Western officials working in the region confirmed the reports on condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to talk to the media about the issue.

Initiated well before the killing of Osama bin Laden on May 2, the meetings represent a clear shift in the attitude of the Obama administration toward peace talks with the Taliban first signaled by a speech in February by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Western officials said. In that speech Ms. Clinton said that previous requirements for talks could be considered as “desired outcomes,” opening the way to exploratory meetings without preconditions.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE; WE SHOULD NO MORE NEGOTIATE WITH THE TALIBAN AND MULLAH OMAR THEN WITH AL QAEDA AND ZAWAHIRI.

OBAMA'S APPEASEMENT OF JIHADISTS - FROM HAMAS IN GAZA TO FATAH IN THE WEST BANK TO THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT - IS ONLY DECREASING OUR SECURITY AND THE SECURITY OF OUR ALLIES.

NEED EFFIN' PROOF!?!?

Eight NATO Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan – Eight NATO soldiers were killed in Afghanistan on Thursday, seven of them in a single incident in the southern part of the country that was the deadliest involving hidden explosive devices so far this year, officials said.

The seven soldiers were part of a foot patrol and were killed in two individual improvised explosive device explosions that struck the patrol as part of the same attack, according to Major Tim James, a spokesman for NATO.

...Thursday’s attack was the deadliest involving improvised explosive devices this year, according to statistics compiled by icasualties.org, an independent reporting organization. On May 16th, four American servicemen were killed in an I.E.D. attack in Zabul province, where Afghan forces recently have taken greater responsibility for security.

Thursday was also was the worst loss of life for NATO since April 27, when eight American airmen and a civilian contractor were killed by an attacker in Afghan air force uniform at the Kabul airport. The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility.

OBAMA'S APPEASEMENT OF THE WEST'S ENEMIES - LIKE THE TALIBAN - IS SICKENING.

WE SHOULD BE DICTATING TERMS OF THEIR SURRENDER, NOT NEGOTIATING.
