...There is little hope that the peace talks (click here) will be more successful now.
But the president seems to believe that Bergdahl’s exchange for the
Gitmo 5 (who are reportedly being transferred to Qatar) may break the
ice. “While we are mindful of the challenges, it is our hope Sergeant
Bergdahl’s recovery could potentially open the door for broader
discussions among Afghans about the future of their country by building
confidence that it is possible for all sides to find common ground,”
Obama said in his statement....
The only reason this issue is so politically volatile is because it is being made to look as though it actually would be a legitimate reason to impeach President Obama. Why does that matter?
It is an election strategy. The GOP has been ranting about impeachment since November of 2008. Along with the threat to impeach because he was a Kenyan, etc. there was the organization of the Koch Brothers with buses in Wilmington, NC for the "Tea Party." President Obama never had a day of enthusiastic rallying of the nation after each of his elections.
Now, the 2014 election strategy for November is to have a majority House and Senate and the Red State majority can finally overturn an election.
That is all this is. The GOP is hoping to drive their voters to the polls. Whether there would be an attempt to impeach is a good question. The majority Senate and House could literally carry out a coup and over turn an election with a baseless impeachment or they could actually stomp their elections as if they actually have a real reason to impeach regardless of the lie. It is the "Cheney WMD strategy." Can't see that?
The fear the Taliban 5 are actually going to carry out greater fears than WMD could ever carry out is all too real. Same 'ole, same 'ole.
Let's pretend there is WMD in Iraq and win the elections so there can be an illegal invasion and plenty of profits for Halliburton. Actually, what difference does it make, they are all Muslims over there anyway.
Hamid Karzai's chief rival Abdullah Abdullah has attempted to cross Afghanistan's ethnic divide by campaigning for the first time in the president's southern heartland.

...However, (click here) observers believe his career as a former senior aide in the Northern Alliance and his choice as candidate of the Tajik-dominated National Front opposition bloc could see him struggle to win votes in the Pashtun nationalist south.
I believe in him. I always have. My accolades to him appears on this blog throughout the decade. Since he first emerged in 2001 as a well educated man with a beautiful daughter of which he obviously loves a great deal; he had the respect of many of his countrymen. He has been a great man to date. I sincerely believe he has the capacity to bring peace to Afghanistan. He may have even helped move the prisoner exchange in light of his potential presidency and a return to normalcy in Afghanistan.
Just as a suggestion to the potential President-elect. I would move quickly to reach a hand of peace to Russia who is already eyeing their place in regard to Afghanistan through it's common borders with Tajikistan. The rare Earth minerals, sir. War would serve the purpose of exploitation of what may be Afghanistan's sincere wealth for it's future and children. My sincerest wishes for his ambitions for peace for his country.
The Taliban 5 are suppose to be the lynch pin to peace negotiations with the government of Afghanistan. Let's hope the trade has brevity and the people of Afghanistan still have hope for a nation with peace. There is a new President coming in Afghanistan. I am hoping the new President will be the former commander of the Northern Alliance. He is magnificent. He has experience leading a nation long before the Afghanistan of 2001 when Karzai was placed at the head of it's returning government. I see the leadership of the Northern Alliance as a sincere asset in having experience in stabilizing a region and applying governance. I wish the Afghans well in the negotiations and the outcome of their recent elections. The people of Afghanistan has suffered enough when a Saudi madman hated the USA enough to make it his lifelong ambition.
I wish them all peace. I hope the Taliban 5 is the pivotal event along with the election outcome that turns the corner for their country.

Pashtuns
are Afghanistan's largest ethnic group, making up an estimated 40 per
cent of the population, while Kandahar is the ancestral home of the
Karzai clan.
The son of a Pashtun
father from Kandahar and Tajik mother, Dr Abdullah told the crowd: "I am
originally from Kandahar and my ancestral roots are in Kandahar." He
criticised the Karzai regime for corruption and inability to solve the
country's problems....I believe in him. I always have. My accolades to him appears on this blog throughout the decade.
