US, EU call on Taliban to end military offensive in Afghanistan

Kabul (dpa) – International diplomats to Afghanistan, including from the United States, have called on Taliban militants to urgently end their current military offensive.

The joint statement from the diplomatic missions to the country, published on Monday and signed among others by the EU delegation and the Office of the NATO Senior Civilian Representative, said that the ongoing Taliban offensive is leading to civilian casualties, the displacement of people, and the destruction of public infrastructure across the country.

"The Taliban's offensive is in direct contradiction to their claim to support a negotiated settlement of the conflict and to the Doha peace process," the statement said.

Don't you just know the thought of non-compliance leaves the Taliban quaking in their sandals?

Is this serious?  Did they really think the Taliban would miraculously become some photocopier version of a NATO country?

The way the EU and this administration buy into global warming, there is no reason to think they can see the stupidity.

Maybe Joe(obama) could draw some of those red lines that worked so well.
