President Karzai in Washington Seeking Peace Deal

Washington, D.C. (May 10) – President Hamid Karzai, will be visiting Washington this week to request support for peace talks between his Afghani government and the Taliban. Karzai will be meeting with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of the international security forces in Afghanistan, and Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry in a press conference later today.

Meanwhile, reports out of Kabul indicate that the Taliban are threatening to launch new offensives targeting Afghan and NATO military, staff and foreign contractors. Statements referencing these attacks were found on the terrorist groups website, al-Faath. The group is threatening to begin an offensive that will include, ambushes, assassination attempts on diplomats and government officials, and of course the normal suicide bombings that have to date, have caused massive civilian damage and have hardly made a dent into the terrorist groups troop strength.

According to information gained from the NATO ISAF website, the combined forces in Afghanistan are currently finishing offensive actions in Helmand Province to oust the terrorists. The plan is now to move on to Kandahar Province and begin clean-up operations there. All toll, the Afghani civilians have been taking the largest number of casualties and injuries in the terrorist group’s campaign against the current Afghanistan government.

Such attempts at a peace deal in neighboring Pakistan have proven to be both a failure to the stability of the countries security and an overall threat to the personal safety of the nation’s civilian populations in regions to which the Pakistani government had in the past, capitulated to the Islamic terrorist group. As noted in the failed peace agreement with Pakistan, the United States has just found itself a target of these terrorist groups operating within Pakistan’s border. This should be a lesson well learned to all parties that, peace is of no objective to the terrorist driven group, the Taliban.

To serve as further evidence that the Taliban is not interested in seeking peace with any government, on Sunday, May 9, 2010, Taliban terrorists attacked a small village in Parmakan, Heart Province opening fire on local villagers that had set-up their own private security force. The villagers returned fire in self-defense as the terrorists led Taliban group, opened fire upon the villagers.

The villagers held their own while requesting assistance from a nearby Afghan Commando Unit assisted by, the U.S. Special Operation Forces. Upon arrival, fighting alongside the villages several of the terrorists were killed while, the remaining fled into the village to hide.

A search conducted by the village patrol in attempts to expel the remaining insurgents, during the search several local villagers were found murdered in their homes.

This one single incident should be proof enough, the Taliban are not seeking peace, just a deadly control and will do whatever it takes to regain that control including to continue advocating terrorists attacks outside their own borders.
