Hamid Karzai: “Terrorism was hurting us way before Iraq or September 11. And how do we fight them? How do we get rid of them, other…”

At a security summit in London, Afghan President Hamid Karzai described his plan to reintegrate Taliban fighters into a law-abiding society if they promise to renounce violence.

We will not see peace in Afghanistan. You will not see an end to the killing of your soldiers in Afghanistan.

It is not my role necessarily to give the United States advice about what it should do or should not do somewhere else, but I ask you, whatever you do, do not take your eyes off Afghanistan.

I was taken aback. Who are these Taliban that a deal has been signed with? Why can't we find them? Who are their leaders?
