U.N. set for more discreet talks with Taliban

So the U.N would like to be Discreet in their little talks with the Taliban that they are not having but are having , so don't pay no attention here there really is nothing to see , Move along like the good Sheeple you are .

The Break down IMO !

You see , the Taliban , AKA The Bad guys , nobody really likes them , they are just really mean .
And NATO , AKA the good guys , well a lot of people don't like them either , but they are the good guys !
And then the U.N. , AKA Useless Numbnuts , they are supposed to be on the side of good But they like to play both sides of the Fence , which is what they Are doing here , because really they would kinda like to see the Taliban win this fight , instead of Good Always triumphing over evil , they would like to see evil win once in a while !
So what better way to help that along than to persuade the Goat molesters Known as the Taliban , to just play along for a While !


(Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon suggested in a new report on Afghanistan that the United Nations is ready to continue informal talks with the Taliban but the contact must be discreet, diplomats said.

The 15-nation U.N. Security Council will discuss Ban's report on Thursday and vote next week on his recommendation to renew the mandate of the U.N. mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for another 12 months.

Ban said UNAMA's mandate "allows it to provide good offices to support the implementation of Afghan-led reconciliation programs" with which President Hamid Karzai is trying to reach out and offer an amnesty to Taliban insurgents.

"It (UNAMA) can also lend its good offices ... to these efforts based on the consent of the parties concerned, although the nature of the task could initially require discretion and flexibility," said the report, obtained by Reuters on Monday.

Several U.N. diplomats said this language amounted to a request for a green light from the council for UNAMA officials to continue informal talks with the Taliban, as long as the contact supported the efforts of the Afghan government.

They said the requirement for "discretion and flexibility" meant that information might be kept confidential and left out of formal U.N. briefings.

"It's a request for an explicit implicit wink from the council" to allow secret political talks with the Taliban to continue, one U.N. diplomat said.

The issue of speaking with the Taliban is a sensitive one, since the group has been subject to U.N. sanctions since 1999.

But diplomats said the former U.N. special envoy to Afghanistan, Kai Eide, had been repeatedly in contact with the Taliban, despite his denial of reports that he met with Taliban representatives in the Middle East earlier this year.

One U.N. diplomat dismissed Eide's denials, saying he "did talk with the Taliban, and on more than one occasion."
