#1 Mixed bag. I'm out in douchebagistan now. Some of the hill-billy hajjis have nothing else in common other than a hatred for GIROA and wanting us out. For some it's the typical religious islamic nut-baggery for others it's just wanting free reign and uninterupted poppy revenues. Not saying Crackistan isn't a player...

#2 This reminds me of the British Govt talking to Sinn Fein(Adams/McGuiness)to negotiate with the IRA.

We should be directly speaking to Pakistan Army/ISI as the same thing applies as above ie negotiator=terrorist organisation.

#3  Broadhead 6, did you mean to say the hill-hajjis don't love foreign jihadis? Color me surprised.

#4 I think the US thinking is to negotiate directly with the Afghan Taliban, rather than with the AT through the ISI. Since neither we nor the Afghan Taliban trust the ISI, maybe we can come to an arrangement behind the ISI's back.
