Typical Democrats using their 'cut and run' strategy when things get tough during a war. These are the same liberal pussies who refuse to use the terms "war on terror" and "Islamic terrorism" in fear of upsetting those in the Muslim world. After 9 years of our troops dying in the field of battle, Democrats now are negotiating with the enemy who would love to see us give up in Afghanistan so they can take control once more.
The Hill reports:
Sen. John Kerry, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Friday that there is a "very active" effort under way to reach a negotiated political settlement with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Kerry (D-Mass.) acknowledged that "efforts" have begun after visiting Afghanistan and Pakistan this week, meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other officials.
"I can report without being specific that there are efforts under way. They are serious and I completely agree with that fundamental premise — and so does General [David] Petraeus and so does President Obama — there is no military solution," he told NPR. "And there are very active efforts now to seek an appropriate kind of political settlement."
U.S. officials have acknowledged that some sort of political settlement must be reached with the Taliban -- a loosely affiliated group of Islamic insurgents that control large swaths of territory in Afghanistan -- in order to bring an end to the almost nine-year-long U.S. war there.
