U.S Would Support Afghan Peace Talks

Amanda Dominguez:
US Defence Secretary Robert Gates made a statement that the United States would be willing to reconcile with the Taliban if the Afghan government pushed for talks to end the conflict. The talks, however, would not include Al Quada

I just find it interesting that we are finding more of a push for international diplomacy. Talking instead of fighting? I think this is a good start to getting our troops home and ending this long standing in the Middle East. Gates was then quoted in saying "This is an exit strategy for all of us."
