Yeah, I’m a little concerned about this, too

Afghan Source: The U.S. Has Offered the Taliban Control in Return for Quiet

An Afghan source in Kabul reports that U.S. Ambassador in Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry is holding secret talks with Taliban elements headed by the movement’s foreign minister, Ahmad Mutawakil, at a secret location in Kabul. According to the source, the U.S. has offered the Taliban control of the Kandahar, Helmand, Oruzgan, Kunar and Nuristan provinces in return for a halt to the Taliban missile attacks on U.S. bases.

It’s important to notice that this is a pretty thin report. We have no idea whence it came; nor who the sources are, what their motivations are, etc. This may turn out to be entirely false, and I sure hope it does.

If not, though…looks like those noodly Americans done gave in again. Just like in Somalia, right? Hold out long enough, and they’ll buckle. Because they’re weak.

The Anchoress has more. And Chris Wysocki never thought he’d see the day.
