What Is PJ Crowley Possibly Thinking?
Posted by Michael Cohen

One of the most difficult parts of chronicling the US war in Afghanistan is keeping track of some of the utterly head-scratching, divorced from reality statements that come out of the mouths of US military officers and diplomats.

Yesterday's statement from State Department spokesmen PJ Crowley about political reconciliation in Afghanistan is a quintessential example of this phenomenon:

The United States said Thursday it cannot see Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar meeting criteria for peace talks with the Afghan government and playing a constructive role in Afghanistan's future.

US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said Taliban foot-soldiers and leaders could participate in Afghanistan's future if they renounce violence, cut ties with Al-Qaeda and support the Afghan constitution. But he doubted the opportunity would be seized by Mullah Omar, the Taliban's one-eyed leader who is believed to be hiding in Pakistan and who, the Washington Post said last week, backs secret high-level peace talks with Kabul.

"From our view, Mullah Omar has been attached at the hip to bin Laden for some time. So, based on everything that we know about him today, in fact he will not meet the criteria that we have laid out," Crowley told reporters. "He had many opportunities during the '90s and even after 9/11 to disassociate himself from Osama bin Laden. He chose not to," Crowley said.

"So you know, there's nothing that we see that indicates that Mullah Omar will, in fact, change his stripes. As a result, we don't see that he qualifies to play a constructive role in Afghanistan's future."

Perhaps my favorite part about Crowley's statement is the notion that the Taliban won't show they are serious about peace talks if they don't, "renounce violence, cut ties with Al-Qaeda and support the Afghan constitution." So apparently the State Department now defines "seriousness" as surrender. And this by the way is the diplomatic agency of the world's most powerful country.

Crowley's argument is just fundamentally unserious . . . well let me take that back. It's actually a tad more serious than the far more unserious notion that the former leader of Afghanistan, who has led a nine-year insurgency against the current government and leads a movement that has shadow governors in every district in Afghanistan is not qualified to "play a constructive role in Afghanistan's future."

The mind truly reels. Does the State Department really believe that Mullah Omar, who leads the largest Afghan Taliban insurgent group in Pakistan (and perhaps the less radical one), is unqualified to play a role in Afghanistan's future? Then who exactly is the United States or perhaps more directly, the Afghan government, planning to negotiate with if not Mullah Omar? Seriously, I'd really be curious to know, based on Crowley's statement, under what framework and with which interlocutors will reconciliation be possible because this statement seems to place the bar so high on negotiations even beginning that it's very hard to see how you get the Taliban to the table.

And to take the craziness of this a step further - how do you think Crowley's statement will play among the Taliban leadership? You have preliminary indications that Taliban leaders are at least interested in pursuing political negotiations - maybe it's real, maybe it's not but certainly as SecDef Gates and SecState Gates indicated it's an option worth pursuing

And yet here you have the State Department spokesman saying hold on, Mullah Omar has "no constructive role to play" in this process; the Taliban have to basically surrender before we'll talk to them. How does that help the process of reconciliation or even build trust between possible negotiating partners? It's mind-boggingly ill-advised and counter-productive.

But then you can't spend any serious time trying to follow the course of US decision-making on the war in Afghanistan and not come to the conclusion that this is pretty much par for the course.

Comments

The play pretend rhetoric and even propaganda concerning the Afghanistan / Iraq oil wars informs us that they do not really give a shit whether we believe them or not, whether what they say makes sense or not, nor any thing of that sort.

They have an agenda and anything else be damned.

Michael, Crowley also said several times that this is an Afghan process. I suggest you go to the source and not rely on news reports.

Speaking of reading the source document, I think you'd like to comment on this.

QUESTION: I’d like to just go back to Afghanistan for a moment. Why shouldn’t people conclude that after a decade of warfare and the expenditure of considerable numbers of American and allied lives and significant amounts of U.S. taxpayers and other countries’ taxpayers’ money, that a decade later you’ve to the conclusion that you just can’t defeat the Taliban and so your only bet, your best bet, is to just try to work out a deal with them if they’ll change their outlook?

MR. CROWLEY: Well, Arshad, I would highly recommend the counterinsurgency manual that the military put out under the leadership one of one David Petraeus. Again, there’s – we are following our strategy which is rooted in the analysis that we’ve done, he’s done on counterinsurgencies – how they are fought and how they come to a successful conclusion. I think General Petraeus has said many, many times in public that this will be one through a combination of military action and political action. So we are following our strategy. That strategy is rooted in a counterinsurgency doctrine that has been developed within the government. We are doing exactly what we said we would do and we’re following the basics of our strategy as we laid it out earlier this year.

This is what I have in mind:

Legitimacy Is the Main Objective

The US has tried to do that for nine years and failed.

Replica watches reliability of the sellers on replica-mart.com
The fake watch which we are called the replica watches .though they are the imitation of the famous brands, they are always exact the same with the genuine ones. The price perhaps will be the main difference between them. You can use hundreds dollars to buy a fake famous brand, while you need thousands dollars to buy a real one. So it is a good way to save money by this way.
Well for those replica watches are the only products which when worn by the special person provides a luxury appearance. At the beginning, these
imitation watches have been very expensive but these days the replica watches market have produced they often have solved this problem by manufacturing the elegant and prosperous watch out there at the small fraction of cost of the original watches.
When people are interested in purchasing the Rolex Replica of a luxurious watch, there are some important things that they should keep in mind.
The first is the case dimension so that it suits perfectly for the persons wrist. The second thing needs to be the bracelet width that’s the thickness of the case. People who purchase the Audemars Piguet Replica Watches from the suppliers must take care that the replica watches should come for a durable time. Many people when purchasing for these replica watches will make some extent that it should look perfect, however they don’t care in regards to the durability.

Our ugg boots clearance nails aren’t just a convenient place to put colored polish. Nails, on both the fingers and the toes, are made of keratin, the same stuff our hair contains, only denser and harder. Nails are the primate equivalent of hooves and claws on other animals. Animals use their claws or talons to catch prey, climb trees, and defend themselves. Humans have evolved to the point where fingernails are not vital for survival, but there’s no doubt that they’re useful ugg boots clearance. They help when we’re performing fine motor skills, like untying knots and preparing food. They’re also important for scratching (a pleasurable experience most mammals enjoy) and grooming ugg boots clearance.

Toenails are less important than fingernails ugg boots clearance. At this stage of our evolution, they’re little more than remnants. Watching apes and monkeys use their feet to grasp objects reminds us that at one point it was useful to have nails on our toes, but they’re simply not as necessary now. Apes and monkeys also have opposable thumbs on their feet that help their dexterity. Since humans don’t have these, our feet are useful mainly for ambulation ugg boots clearance.

One thing that nails are not for is protection of the nail bed. Contrary to popular belief, they serve no protective purpose ugg boots clearance, and without fingernails or toenails, our digits would not be uncomfortably sensitive; the nail bed would simply become harder and tougher to accommodate the new level of exposure ugg boots outlet.

Hey, i've been reading this blog for a while and have a question, maybe you can help... it's how do i add your feed to my rss reader as i want to follow you. Thanks.

On my Egypt Air flight yesterday to Cairo, I witnessed one of the more intriguing in-flight exchanges that I can remember. A bearded, well-dressed man sitting a few seats behind me began shouting at the flight attendant. He was complaining that the in-flight movie was inappropriate. What are these “offensive images?” he asked. These included a 15-minute stretch of the movie where at least one woman at any given time was wearing a bikini. In a couple of scenes at a club, members of opposite sexes were dancing in close proximity while, it appeared, consuming alcoholic beverages. “Are we really all Westernized now?” the man behind me asked, as if posing a question to those of us in the back of the plane.

The man’s arguments were rather interesting. He pointed out that if you took a poll of the passengers,ugg boots outlet most would agree the film was morally offensive. He asked the attendant, “if we ask the passengers what they think and they agree with me, then what will you do?” The attendant responded, “we don’t take public opinion (ra’i al ‘am) on the airplane.” The man was right: most passengers, and most Egyptians – the vast majority of whom don’t drink, go to clubs, or wear bikinis – would object to the film’s content. But at what point do they have the right to restrict minority expressions of unfaithfulness?

It was an odd, amusing exchange that justified the otherwise unpleasant experience of flying on EgyptAir.ugg boots clearance But it was a reminder of the fundamental lack of consensus in the Arab world over the boundaries and limits of the state. There are two groups – Islamists and secular elites – with worldviews which couldn’t be more different. They live parallel lives in parallel worlds, with parallel institutions. They rarely intersect.ugg boots clearance One group believes it has both history and the Egyptian people on its side. The other side, considerably smaller in number, likely has neither. It does, however, have the power.

This stalemate has paralyzed the Arab world for decades now.ugg boots outlet

Sunday’s elections will be just another version of this.ugg boots clearance The main players are the Muslim Brotherhood – populist, religious, and righteous – and the regime coalition which, with its president soon to pass, finds itself in an uncertain place. Both sides are strong in different ways – and weak in others. Neither seems to have anything resembling a coherent strategy for dealing with the impending transition that is soon to come.

There were rockets like a flight of scintillating birds singing with sweet voices. There were green trees with trunks of dark smoke: their leaves opened like a whole spring unfolding in a moment,and their shining branches dropped glowing flowers down upon the astonished hobbits, disappearing with a sweet scent ugg boots clearance just before they touched their upturned faces.There were fountains of butterflies that flew glittering into the trees;there were pillars of coloured fires that rose and turned into eagles,or sailing ships, or a phalanx of flying swans; there was a red thunderstorm and a shower of yellow rain; there was a forest of silver spears that sprang suddenly into the air with a yell like an embattled army,and came down again into the Water with a hiss like a hundred hot ugg boots clearancesnakes.And there was also one last surprise, in honour of Bilbo, and it startled the hobbits exceedingly, as Gandalf intended. The lights went out.A great smoke went up.It shaped itself like a mountain seen in the distance,and began to glow at the summit. It spouted green and scarlet flames.Out flew a red-golden dragon?not life-size,but terribly life-like:fire came from his louis vuitton outlet, his eyes glared down; there was a roar,and he whizzed three times over the heads of the crowd.They all ducked,and many fell flat on their faces.The dragon passed like an express train,turned a somersault,and burst over Bywater with a deafening explosion.

And to take the craziness of this a step further - how do you think Crowley's statement will play among the Taliban leadership? You have preliminary indications that Taliban leaders are at least interested in pursuing political negotiations - maybe it's real, maybe it's not but certainly as SecDef Gates and SecState Gates indicated it's an option worth pursuing
