Karzai offers Taliban a government office.

KABUL, Afghanistan - President Hamid Karzai offered Saturday to meet personally with Taliban leader Mullah Omar for peace talks and give the militants a high position in a government ministry as a way to end the rising insurgency in Afghanistan.

Reiterating a call for negotiations he has made with increasing frequency over the last several weeks, Karzai also said he was willing to meet with factional warlord leader and former Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

Specifically.

Mullah Omar.

    Actually he wants to use our forces to defeat the Taliban instead of using them in a pointless war. But if you are that delusional, more power to ya.
