Don't shoot the messenger Teribus. The BBC report was quoting Clinton. For instance: "If we move forward with such a meeting, it is expected that Iran would be invited as a neighbour of Afghanistan." And: "We can and must find ways to work constructively with Russia where we share areas of common interest, including helping the people of Afghanistan."

Teribus may not realise it, but this is a repositioning. To me it has a hint of desperation about it, but no doubt Teribus will read it as confirmation that NATO has achieved a military triumph and wiped the Taleban from the face of the planet.(LOL)
