Hmmmm….Story from CNN, attributed to “sources”. lots of rumours that Saudi Arabia is trying to broker a peace deal with the Taliban and clear signals coming from the military that clear victory unlikely. At least Gulbadin Hekmatyar had a representative present. Now what would such a peace do to the border areas with Pakistan and the Taliban-style militants there…not to say the al Qaeda headquarters, which must be on the move as we write?
