As Robert Spencer aptly suggests, the only ones who might be surprised by this is the Obama administration, and they certainly won't listen anyway.
ANI reports:
Islamabad, Jan 12 : Afghanistan's Taliban insurgents have said that their support for peace talks does not mean a surrender from Jihad, and have vowed to continue their armed struggle.Meanwhile, the Obama administration has already naively agreed to release this shocking list of Taliban terrorists from Guantanamo Bay detention center - just to show "good faith" on the "hope" of getting a peace deal with the Taliban.Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the militants had been fighting for the past 15 years to establish an Islamic government in Afghanistan "in accordance with the request of its people".
"It is for this purpose and for bringing about peace and stability in Afghanistan that we have increased our political efforts to come to mutual understanding with the world in order to solve the current ongoing situation," Mujahid said in an emailed statement.
"But this understanding does not mean a surrender from Jihad and neither is it connected to an acceptance of the constitution of the stooge Kabul administration," he added.
Earlier, rumours have swirled about the possibility of peace talks to end war in Afghanistan between the US-led coalition and the Taliban in the Gulf nation of Qatar
Hmmm..., no problem, right? After all, what could go wrong!
