Taliban winning, NATO losing in Afghanistan: Kasuri
2006-11-30
“Kasuri is basically asking NATO to surrender and to negotiate with the Taliban.”
Senior Pakistani officials are urging NATO countries to accept the Taliban and work towards a new coalition government in Kabul, the Daily Telegraph reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, Pakistani Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri has said in private briefings to foreign ministers of some NATO member states that the Taliban are winning the war in Afghanistan and NATO is bound to fail. Kasuri has advised against sending more troops. “Kasuri is basically asking NATO to surrender and to negotiate with the Taliban,” a Western official who met the foreign minister recently told the Daily Telegraph. The remarks were made on the eve of NATO’s critical summit in Latvia.
Surrender? Did Mr ISI say "pretty please"?

#10  We lose $.50 on each sale, but we make it up on volume.

You just don't understand the power of the circles, our lawyers will explain it all to you.

#9  Â“Kasuri is basically asking NATO to surrender and to negotiate with the Taliban,”

Given the recent body counts it reminds me of the old joke:

We lose $.50 on each sale, but we make it up on volume.

#7  Considering the next article posted below Ban on sale of newspapers in North Waziristan says more about who is 'winning' than crap reportedly spewed from the Pak FM. Why do you need to shut down the information flow if your cross border boys are 'winning'?

#6  Looks to me like since Pakistan surrendered to the Talibs, they think NATO should too.

#5  Maybe the NATO foreign ministers ought to hint to this mook that maybe they're thinking of spreading the war violently into Pakistan's border provinces and see what he thinks then.

#4  They've been repeating this line over and over for a while now. Being Paks, they don't realize how transparent they're being.

#2  NATO isn't losing, but allowing Afghan mosques to broadcast jihad incitement, under the cover of "freedom of religion," is hardly a winning strategy. I would blow up those mosques at Friday Prayers, when the most pious idiots can be fed 500 pounders.

Imagine allowing Nazi propaganda to be broadcast in occupied Germany?

#1  With the Democrats in charges, it's certainly worth asking.
