For God’s sake - these people cannot be negotiated with! They are on a ‘holy’ mission to dominate the entire world! God damn them and God damn the vile, corrupt politicians who have so very effectively aided and abetted them to be able to establish a flourishing 5th Column in our homelands!

Afghan battle ‘being won’ - Brown.

Britain may have to fight the Taleban for years to come. Prime Minister Gordon Brown has told MPs that forces are “winning the battle against the insurgency” in Afghanistan. He said Britain and its coalition partners were “isolating and eliminating the leadership of the Taleban, not negotiating with them”. But he backed Afghan leaders’ moves towards “political reconciliation” with ex-insurgents who renounce violence. The current level of 7,800 troops would be maintained, said Mr Brown, as part of the UK’s “long term commitment”. He also announced £450m development funding and more equipment for troops.

Stopping attacks

He said British, Afghan and Nato forces had been “driving the insurgents and extremists out of their hiding places” and stopping them regrouping and attacking “areas around the provincial capitals”. He said he wanted to build on military progress and help Afghans take more responsibility for government, security and economic development. Our aim is to isolate and eradicate the Taleban insurgency and to isolate the leadership

Analysis: Dismantling the Taleban

Newspaper reports had suggested that Mr Brown would say it was “time to talk” to the Taleban. But outlining his strategy in the House of Commons, the prime minister said: “Our aim is to isolate and eradicate the Taleban insurgency and to isolate the leadership. We are not negotiating with the leadership and we don’t propose to do so.”

Liar, Liar

It’s impossible to negotiate with an organisation with no single leader. Get the UK/US troops out. The rest of NATO is never going to put troops on the ground as well as us. NATO is dead. Cut the flow of aid to Pakistan where they are all trained and brainwashed. You will never win in negotiations with fundamentalists, as they can’t see the other side’s point of view. Any negotiations at this time will appear as appeasement, and will be taken as weakness by our enemies. This isn’t the time to talk.

But seriously, my heart is torn on this one. I would love to see our soldiers come home. Heck! They should NEVER have been there in the first place. It saddens me to think that as soon as our boys leave Basra, the insurgents will rise, and Basra will once more become a hotbed of violence. What a waste.

CharlesW you are right of course. The other night I was watching a US republican nominations debate where my favorite candidate Ron Paul was explaining that the “reason they attacked us on 9/11 was because we were over there” - now I agree with this whole heartedly, but then Tom Tancredo said something that I could also not disagree with–he said: I cannot believe that when we leave Iraq and come back that somehow these people will simply stop trying to hurt us–they are hell bent on the destruction of The West!

It is no surprise to me. Thatcher and others ‘talked’ to the IRA. They invited them to tea at Chequers, did they not? When will they realise that we are at ‘war’ with these terrorists. The only talking he should be doing is to the British people, to apologise for the illegal invasion of another country and the sad deaths of our troops. He and bLIAR should then hand themselves over to trial for ‘war crimes’.

This Lefty ‘Hippy’, along with the rest of his lying commy comrades, days are numbered. There is supposed to be zero tolerance on negotiating with terrorists, period. If this is to happen then he and his party really are lower than dog excrement, to put it politely. You don’t do reasoning with devils spawn.

When will the world & Britain learn? Britain of all people should know you cannot negotiate or trust “terrorists”, look at the ex-empire (Rhodesia is a prime example). One can only fight fire with fire.
