Are our soldiers, and their lives, just a pawn in the chess game of politics! If Brown announces a General Election this Autumn, will it further the belief that he, like his prececessor, thinks that we, The General Public are just a bunch of idiot sheep who need to be led by people like him and accept everything he says and does. Don’t you just wish that the Conservatives and/or the Liberal Democrats were more credible?
The military are available to whomever is in charge!~!
I don’t know. I tried to find what you were talking about on the internet. This is all I have found so far.
“Kabul, Sep 30 (DPA) Afghanistan’s Muslim extremist Taliban Sunday rejected an offer of peace talks from the President Hamid Karzai, demanding first the withdrawal of foreign troops from the country.
‘Our position has not changed regarding the peace talks,’ said Taliban spokesman Kari Yussif Ahmadi. ‘As long as the Afghan government lacks its own authority and planning and as long as there are foreign forces in Afghanistan, we are not ready for talks.’
On Saturday, Karzai made a renewed call for talks with the Taliban, declaring himself ready to meet personally Taliban head Mullah Omar and rebel leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
The president, however, said a withdrawal from Afghanistan of thousands of troops from the US and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was not on the table.”
