Why Afghan-Taliban negotiations will likely fail

The idea sounds nice:

But, there's two main holdups.

One's mentioned in the article. We, standing behind Afghan President Hamid Karzai, want the Taliban to finger bin Laden's location. That's just not happening.

The second? The Taliban wants a timetable for our withdrawal. That's certainly not happening.

Our Vietnam?

A better analogy would be: Our Palestine, our West Bank.
