Exit At Any Cost?

The US's attempt to engage the Taliban is fraught with risk for Afghanistan

Exit At Any Cost?

-The Times of India, February 1, 2012

While the Taliban have agreed to hold talks with "the world" through an office in Qatar, the US, it seems, has no idea as to where the talks will lead them, as was honestly uttered by the secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

"The Obama administration is willing to hand over five Taliban commanders currently in Guantanamo Bay as a "confidence-building measure" without significant concessions in return."

How is Afghanistan going to be effected in the wake of current circumstances? Especially when Pakistan's role is an additional "dark mystery."
