Taliban Leader in Secret Talks was Imposter

Posted by:

The New York Times reports that the “Taliban Leader in Secret Talks Was an Impostor.”  The headline says it all, and I didn’t make it up either. We’ve been duped. No legitimate peace talks have been taken place. So I guess the Power Point slide used for the ongoing Afghanistan policy review describing these peace talks will simply be put on “Hide” mode now. Maybe we should take heed of what Sayed Amir Muhammad Agha, a onetime Taliban commander who says he has left the Taliban but who acted as a go-between with the movement in the past, was reportedly to have said in an interview for this story that, “Whenever I talk to the Taliban, they never accept peace and they want to keep on fighting, they are not tired.”
