Karzai's Taliban

Our "friends" in Afghanistan, particularly President Karzai, have shown themselves to be less than that.  I have pointed out that the Afghan constitution, approved by Obama and the administration, has as its first article sharia law as the highest law in the land, and Islam as the official state religion.  Now, Karzai has taken the next step towards relinqushing Afghanistan back to the Taliban.

The Taliban, after being routed in 2002-2004 have been making inroads.  Although the general population are not fans of the Taliban, they know enough to keep their mouths shut to save themselves and their families.  Now Karzai is about ready to throw his people under the bus permanently buy giving the Taliban official recognition as a legitimate representative body.

The Taliban, according to Karzai can and should set up a liason office in Turkey, with the blerssings of President Gul, naturally.  By giving legitimate voice to a group dedicated to the destruction of the west and the expansion of the caliphate, he is setting the stage for problems similar to those when a legitimate voice was given to Hamas or the PLO.

Karzai is an enemy, and he is in bed with Islamists.

Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai said Friday that he'd welcome a Taliban office opening in Turkey, that country's state-run news agency reported, adding that such a development could help peace talks in his war-torn nation.

Only if those talks were one-sided, and insisted on more sharia and ttighter controls on non-Muslims and their activities.

The Afghan president acknowledged that there have been discussions about Taliban officials setting up somewhere in Turkey "in order to facilitate reconciliation and integration," according to the Turkish news agency Anadolu.

Reconcile to the Taliban in control, and fully integrate sharia law as per Allah and the Qur'an.

Gotcha.
