US Will Surrender To Afghan Taliban

By: Sorcha Faal

Shocking reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that President Obama placed an “urgent” call to Prime Minister Putin on Tuesday wherein he “pleaded” for Russia to withdrawal its objections to removing Afghanistan’s top Taliban leadership from the United Nations list of the World’s most wanted terrorists that the United States, under former President Bush, had ordered to be put on this list in the first place after their, the Americans, being attacked on September 11, 2001.

When asked by Putin why the United States was seeking such a dramatic reversal in their war policy, these reports continue, Obama replied that in order to stave off a complete American military defeat, and to defend his Presidency against the Central Intelligence Agencies (CIA) al Qaida forces, he was left with “no choice” but to seek an immediate peace deal with the Taliban.

Upon his conferring with the Russian General Staff, and President Medvedev, about Obama’s “urgent plea” Putin, these reports say, ordered Russia’s UN Ambassador to withdrawal the Motherland’s objections to the Taliban being placed on the terrorism list, and as we can also read as confirmed by the Washington Post News Service:

“A U.N. Security Council committee announced Tuesday that it has lifted sanctions against five former Taliban officials, bolstering Afghan and U.N. efforts to pursue peace talks with the group, Security Council diplomats said. The decision came after Russia agreed to stop blocking a U.S.-backed proposal to delist the men.

The action marks a dramatic shift by Russia, which for years had opposed requests by the U.S. and European governments to delist former Taliban members who say they back the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. No Taliban member had been delisted since the Security Council first imposed sanctions on the group more than 10 years ago.”

Putin further ordered Russia’s NATO envoy, Dmitry Rogozin, to offer assistance to the West to help rebuild Afghanistan, provided, of course, that the West provides the funds, and as we can also read as confirmed by China’s Xinhua Net News Service:

“Russia is ready to help reconstruct Afghanistan provided that the West offers the money, Russian business daily Kommersant reported on Wednesday, citing the country's NATO envoy. Kommersant quoted Dmitry Rogozin as saying that Russia could restore more than 140 industrial and infrastructure facilities built by Soviet specialists in Afghanistan.”

To how dire the situation in Afghanistan has become for the Americans can been seen the words of US Gen Stanley McChrystal who told the UK's Financial Times newspaper this past week that there had been “enough fighting”. General McChrystal further stated that a political solution in all conflicts was “inevitable”.

After eight years of war and the loss of thousands of lives, Robert Gates, the US Secretary of Defense further stated: “The Taliban ... are part of the political fabric of Afghanistan at this point.”

To the “truer” cause though of Obama’s preparing to surrender his Military Forces in Afghanistan to the Taliban, these reports say, is the staggering cost of America’s wars since 2001, which are now reported to be over $1 Trillion for an economy already staggering under a debt load many financial analysts believe will cause the United States to implode this year.

Obama is not alone either in his quest for a quick ending to his Nations war in Afghanistan, and as we can read as reported by the United States Fox News Service:

“After giving up on winning victory in Afghanistan by military means, the international community is resorting to the centuries-old method of buying its way out. In London this week, Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, will launch a British and American-backed plan for "reintegration" of the Taliban and call for international funding to offer jobs and bribes to bring insurgents in from the cold.”

Not being understood by the American people about their war in Afghanistan against the Taliban is that it was entirely avoidable as all they, the Taliban, had requested of the United States after the attacks of September 11, 2001 was proof that they were indeed carried out by the alleged terrorist Osama bin Laden, an offer which President Bush replied by saying that the United States demands were “non-negotiable”.

Equally important to note about America’s war in Afghanistan to capture, or kill, Osama bin Laden is that neither Obama or General McChrystal have ever mentioned him in their speeches, or reports, for justifying their war. Osama bin Laden has not only never been charged for the 9/11 attacks even though he does remain on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List.

To the likelihood of the Taliban accepting the United States and NATO’s “defacto surrender”, these reports conclude, “there isn’t a single chance in hell”.
