Canadian Forces Speaking to Taliban, Karzai Approves

[madmax]

Last Week I was going to post and link the articles about Peter Mckay, the Canadian Forces, Hamid Karzai and his Brother, and the ongoing talks on the ground between the low level Taliban and our troops. Something that became apparent to our forces, who have spent 7.5 years in the country. Talking doesn't necessarily get you anywhere, but not talking ensures that you won't.

Canadian Forces have engaged in these talks, knowing that other forces have done just this with mixed results.

Regardless, the people of Afghanistan have been saying for years that a dialogue should occur as have the Elected and non elected leaders of the country.

So, why am I posting a NEW topic title, when there is another one running?

For one thing, the other topic title, looks like it came off of FOX NEWS, or the World Weekly News, or the National Enquirer for Political Junkies.

Secondly, it doesn't cover the original articles which are now 5 days old, not worth linking to unless people are really interested, but does let people know that the "one article" from the east coast doesn't say alot, and is not able to uphold the foolish headline of the other post.

3rd, baited headlines like that are trolling, which is often the norm, it just doesn't deliver.

For good baiters, see Scribblet and JDobbin. You have to get into the topics before you realize you have been taken hook line and sinker.

4th This whole post can and will be deleted, but is here to suggest another way of creating a topic headline.

But, I just don't think it will get the reaction like the Over the Top Headline with "Taliban Jack".

The real story is , that there are talks going on between the Canadian Forces and the Taliban. The current government disapproves of this action. However, just months ago, the Harper Government stated they wanted the military to do its job without political intereference.

So, the fact that the Military has received from a further commitment from the CPC (with Liberal support) for the extension of the mission, with the opposition of Jack Layton, the military has also adopted a common policy throughout the ages of talking to the other side.

Nothing usual in the headlines today.

The Government isn't going to stop the Military from talking with the Taliban, regardless of how they feel.
