And this during negotiations with Afghan government…
Just pay-off the Pashtun tribes, please, that almost all Taliban come from. Pay them well.
And on a regular basis. ‘Cause like the Brits used to say: “You can’t buy an Afghan. You can only rent him.”

Me, I'm Nicholas Bakos, a.k.a. "NikoBako." I'm Greek (Roman really, but when I say that in English some five people in the world today understand what I'm talking about, so I use "Greek" for shorthand). I'm from New York. I live all over the place these days. The rest should become obvious from the blog.
