Despite condemning a video that shows the execution of an Afghan woman accused of adultery, the Obama administration is defending its policy of talking with elements of the Taliban as a way to bring peace to Afghanistan. Begun in secret over a year ago, the talks broke off earlier this year. CNN Foreign Affairs Correspondent Jill Dougherty reports.

drone them !
There is no real point of even to try to have anykind of "talks" with the characters who make up the Taliban. For the Taliban have proven time and time again by their own actions that they are ruthless thugs and not rational people and will not respond to reason. In any co called "dialogue" with them they would by very disingenous and would also dissimulate. They would keep their word in anything that they might promise only as long as it would suite them and no longer.
They certainly won the Vietnam war for Americans by defeating the commies USSR and their Indian buds in Afghanistan. Say thank you.
Baaaaaaaaah, Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Baaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Are you my Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddy?
it's a matter of 'either your with us, or against us'... the US is probably looking for more guns to hire to help further destabilize Syria
The true facts are that over 70 million US tax payers money went directly to the Taliban by way of corruption from November 2011 to March 2012 .
Search the facts folks . Six more USA TROOPS FELL & obama just told karzi Hundreds of Millions are on the way .
Americans have been talking to the Talibans since the 1980s. Nothing new. Maybe we should play Barry White in the background for some climax.
LOL!!! They were even guests of Americans visiting USA not long ago. How times change.
Talking with the Taliban is something that is way overdue. This should have been started ages ago instead of all this senseless killing that produces nothing and helps no one!!! I know there are a lot of weak minded people out there who see otherwise. Will it happen? I sorely hope so!!!
Would you still believe talking to the Taliban will stop senseless killing if that were your sister they assassinated, or your mother? You cannot negotiate with murderers... cold blooded murderers. How about this, why don't you go over there and talk to them? Take a box pre addressed with your home address so they can send your head to your family. It has nothing to do with a weak mind, it has to do with justice for a cold blooded murderer. I'm not worried about rehabilitating the Taliban, but taking this executioner out will prevent HIM from killing another soul in cold blood. Have a little courage and remove a threat to your own kind... it is the definition of being "human".
your definition of 'human' is fight and kill everything that disagrees with your way of life?... sounds like you borrowed that logic from the taliban themselves.... if we spent the same amount of money on feeding, clothing, educating that country instead of, say, bombing the crap out of them with drones, im sure you'd see a slight lift of anti-american sentiment in Afghanistan, and across the world.
but, heck, let's keep spilling blood until both sides are completely exhausted, similar tactics sure worked for primitive cavemen.... ive been having trouble remembering what exactly all this waring was for? they keep re-editing their objectives and reasons so it sure makes the whole thing dubious..
@ Just answer... Actually that's the definition of being a chimpanzee
