US negotiates with terrorists

Doesn't sound "unilateral" to me, not that some are ever willing to accept common definitions of words when it suits their purposes.

"FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) - Government negotiators entered the besieged city of Fallujah Saturday as fierce battles raged elsewhere in central Iraq, including Baghdad. Forty Iraqis were killed, two U.S. servicemembers and two Germans were missing, an American civilian was captured and a Red Crescent official was gunned down.

Several members of the Iraqi Governing Council met with Fallujah city leaders, trying to win the handover of people who killed and mutilated four American civilians last week. They also want the insurgents to give up foreign militants in the city, council member Mahmoud Othman said. "

Let me guess, the argument will be that those are Iraqi's negotiating, not us. Like they don't have authority from us.

So "several members of the Iraqi Governing Council" are not Iraqis after all, they are American 'puppets' under direct American authorization to negotiate....ergo you and a_u_p feel confident in the statement that Americans are negotiating bilaterally with "the terrorists". And you call me a spin doctor?...hahahahahahahahahaha!
 
ZN:
"OK Subgenius and Demon, since this is the JREF forum prove to the skeptics out there that the US is in direct bilateral negotiations with Fallujah fighters AKA the 'terrorists'. Name the personel involved, the time, date and location of the bilateral negotiations that a_u_p asserts have taken place between the US and 'terrorists'.

I am all ears...."

If I can borrow your batphone for a while I`ll get back to you on that.
 
FALLUJAH, Iraq - Iraqi rebels fighting U.S. forces in the Sunni Muslim city of Falluja will agree to hold ceasefire talks if Marines withdraw from the city, an Iraqi negotiating team said on Saturday. Meanwhile, fierce battles raged across several locations in central Iraq, leaving more than 50 Iraqis dead.
...
He said the Falluja leaders they met were in contact with the Iraqi fighters battling U.S. Marines in the city.

"We will convey Falluja's view to U.S. officials either today or tomorrow," Rubaie told Reuters.

Somebody tell them ZN says they don't have to report to the US.

Tell me how much Pluto weighs, where it is in the sky right now, and what temperature its surface is, and I'll believe it exists.

I'll tell you what Mr Manifesto, once you are done wiping Demons, a_u_ps and Subgeniuses DNA off your chin tell me when the US was in direct bilateral negotiations with the fighters in Fallujah. Or is your point that you really don't have a point?



Sorry Demon and a_u_p, you had your chance to answer the question previously and you failed miserably. No answers are required from you.
 
ZN, you didn`t answer my question so here it is again.

How the hell do you know who is talking to who right now or what they are talking about? Do you have some sort of hotline/batphone to Paul Bremer?

The Tory party assured the British public for years that it would never negotiate with the IRA while they were infact doing exactly that.
Do you believe everything you are told by your "leaders"? I guess it`s not much of a stretch when you already believe The Old Testament. Must be comforting to have faith in our brave leaders and the bible.

BAGHDAD (CNN) -- The U.S.-led coalition is seeking a bilateral cease-fire with enemy combatants in the Sunni stronghold of Fallujah to take place Saturday, the U.S. military says.

The move is an effort to implement Iraqi control of the restive city, U.S. Army spokesman Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said.

"Stand back honest citizens...don`t worry Mr President, my mission is to eradicate all ad hominems and all rewritng of history at the JREF. Holy Moses, to the batpoles!!!"
 
"The apparent breakthrough came after the coalition suspended offensive operations in Fallujah and offered the talks. "

ZN was right all along. I admit it.
 
"...the coalition offered a draft cease-fire agreement to Moqtada al-Sadr, the outlawed radical Shiite cleric whose militia has battled occupation forces across central and southern Iraq, an intermediary said."

They really didn't say "the coalition" offered a cease fire agreement, did they?

No one consulted ZN on that first.
 
Are you guys seriously equating a negotiated ceasefire with the old saw about 'never negotiate with terrorists' as in acceding to the demands of terrorists?
