So About That Taliban Peace Process
That lasted about five minutes
Friends,
When someone lies and betrays you over and over again, do you give them a second, third, fourth… hundredth chance?
A milestone military victory for the Taliban is casting doubt on whether the militant group intends to negotiate a power-sharing agreement with the central government, according to State Department officials alarmed by the worsening security crisis.
Amid a string of Taliban successes, Kabul has been rocked by attacks in recent days, with the group targeting Afghan government officials and Afghan air force pilots, U.S. Charge d'Affaires Ross Wilson's team is criticizing the group for taking actions contrary to its purported support for peace negotiations.
"We condemn the Taliban's violent new offensive against Afghan cities," the U.S. Embassy said. "These Taliban actions to forcibly impose its rule are unacceptable and contradict its claim to support a negotiated settlement in the Doha peace process. They demonstrate wanton disregard for the welfare and rights of civilians and will worsen this country's humanitarian crisis."
When your head is in a tiger’s mouth, negotiating is the last thing on its mind.
Your humble servant,
Ben Stein
