New Re: I dislike unnamed sources - NOT unamed any more

"Given what's happened, that's not the choice of words I'd pick."

From my knowledge of military & press briefings & politics, Rumsfield would not be supporting such admissions in public press releases unless they serve a purpose. The logic I am applying here is that when progress is being made we can make what appear to be concessions & this looks like one. Being antagonistic to Afghan (any factions) wouldn't achieve the same progress & the fact that the Afghan council in Peshwar issued their condemnation of the Sept 11 attacks and at same time US says what tough warriors the Taliban are, just looks exactly like an agreed set of compromise statements. That this same council bluntly told OBL to buggar off is all just very coincidental.

I am sure a settlemnent is in the air.

Cheers

Doug

You missed the point.

You said that "satisfies everybody". With a death toll pushing 7000 or so, what with the US bombings, and etc - I don't think *anybody* should be "satisfied" about any solution.

It might be acceptable, but I'd not say "satisfactory".
