        United States confirm peace talks with the Taliban
                TALIBAN representatives will sit down with United States officials to try and broker a historic peace deal for Afghanistan.

                
By:  Owen Bennett 
                Published: Wed, June 19, 2013
            
Muhammad Naeem (R), speaks during the opening of the Taliban Afghanistan Political Office in Doha 

We are standing in a place where people who were once 
committed to violence decided to give up that violence and join the 
political process, and that is what is required in Afghanistan        
                David Cameron


            

The two sides have confirmed they 
will meet for talks in Doha, but a US official has warned it will be a 
long time before peace can be secured.

After 12 years fighting 
the Taliban, this is the first time the Allied forces, which include the
 United Kingdom, will have met with the insurgents with the aim of 
negotiating a truce.

Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the 
move, and speaking from Northern Ireland said the UK had been &quot;engaged 
and involved in this process right from the start&quot;, adding that it was 
&quot;the right thing to do&quot;.

He said: &quot;I have long argued that we 
need to match the security response in Afghanistan... with a political 
process to try and make sure that as many people as possible give up 
violence and give up armed struggle and join the political process.

&quot;That
 is exactly what I hope can happen with elements of the Taliban. That is
 the point of the Taliban office in Qatar. That is the point of the 
discussions that the Americans will have.

&quot;We have been fully engaged and involved in this process right from the start, indeed from the moment I became Prime Minister.

&quot;I think this is the right thing to do.&quot;

Mr
 Cameron acknowledged that it would be difficult to speak with the 
Taliban, but drew parallels with the peace process in Northern Ireland 
itself.

He said: &quot;Of course it involves all sorts of difficulties.&quot;But
 in the end, we are standing in a place where people who were once 
committed to violence decided to give up that violence and join the 
political process, and that is what is required in Afghanistan.&quot;

He
 added: &quot;That shouldn't signal any weakening of our security response - 
it absolutely doesn't. But if we can persuade people that there is a 
legitimate political path they can follow, we should do so.&quot;The conflict in Afghanistan has been raging for 12 years

The
 first formal meeting involving US and Taliban representatives is 
scheduled to be &quot;in a couple of days&quot; in Doha, American officials said. 

Talks
 between the Afghan government and the Taliban are expected to take 
place a few days after that, but with the level of trust between the two
 at a low level, there is no expectation a peaceful resolution would be 
found quickly.

&quot;Peace is not at hand,&quot; the official said. 

US officials said the goal was to ensure that Afghanistan does not remain a haven for terrorism and to defeat al Qaeda. 

They
 expect the Taliban to soon issue a statement opposing the use of Afghan
 soil for attacks on other countries and supporting an Afghan peace 
process. 

The United States will insist the Taliban break ties 
with al Qaeda, end violence, and accept the Afghan constitution, 
including protection for women and minorities, the officials told 
reporters in a conference call.

The talks will be conducted on 
the Taliban side by its political commission, with the authorisation of 
Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. 

The commission would also 
represent the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network, which is considered the 
US' deadliest foe in Afghanistan. 

Officials said they expect 
detainee exchanges to be on the agenda and the US will ask for the safe 
return of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who has been a prisoner since June 
2009. 

He is thought to be being held by Taliban militants in northwestern Pakistan. 

The
 first U.S.-Taliban meeting is expected to be an exchange of agenda, 
followed by another meeting a week or two later to discuss next steps.</description>

      <title>US desperately wants to seek peace with Taliban</title>

      <description>The Taliban opened an office in Doha, the Qatari capital, on Tuesday to help restart talks and said it wanted a political solution that would bring about a just government and end foreign occupation of Afghanistan. 

  A senior U.S. official said the talks would start in Doha on Thursday, but President Barack Obama cautioned against expectations of quick progress, saying the peace process would not be easy or quick.  

    U.S. officials said the process could take many years and be subject to reversals.  

    &quot;This is an important first step towards reconciliation; although it's a very early step,&quot; Obama said after a G8 meeting in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland .  

    &quot;We anticipate there will be a lot of bumps in the road.&quot;  

    U.S. officials say they hope the meeting will open the way for the first-ever official peace talks between the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the Taliban, which has waged a 12-year campaign to oust him and foreign troops.  

    The Taliban have until now said they would not countenance talks with the government, which they consider a stooge of the United States and other Western states in the NATO coalition fighting in Afghanistan.  

    News of the planned talks comes as the United States and its allies in NATO seek to meet a deadline of December 2014 for an end to foreign combat operations in Afghanistan.  

    This would allow them to withdraw the majority of their troops and wind down an engagement launched after the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001 that has cost hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives.  

    A senior Afghan official said the Taliban was now willing to consider peace talks with the government, having held secret discussions with government representatives.  

    In opening the Qatar office, the Taliban said it sought a political solution, but said no dates had been agreed for talks.  

    Taliban representative Mohammed Naeem told a news briefing the group wanted good relations with &quot;all of the world countries.&quot;  

    &quot;But the Islamic emirate (Taliban) sees the independence of the nation from the current occupation as a national and religious obligation,&quot; he said.  

    U.S. officials said that in the talks in Doha, the United States would stick to its insistence that the Taliban break ties with al Qaeda, end violence, and accept the Afghan constitution, including protection for women and minorities.  

    For its part, the Taliban is expected to demand the return of prisoners now at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in  Cuba  - a move many in the U.S. Congress oppose - as well as the departure of all foreign troops.  

    The United States says it hopes to keep a force, of as yet undetermined size, in the country after the end of the NATO combat mission.  

    The talks will be the first U.S. meeting with the Taliban in several years. U.S. officials said the initial meeting was expected to involve an exchange of agendas, followed by another meeting a week or two later to discuss next steps.  

    A U.S. official said he expected the initial meeting would be followed within days by another between the Taliban and the High Peace Council, a structure set up by Karzai to represent Afghanistan in such talks.  

    'PEACE IS NOT AT HAND'  

    The U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the level of trust between the Afghan government and the Taliban remained low, and played down expectations that the talks would quickly lead to peace.  

    &quot;We need to be realistic,&quot; said one official. &quot;This is a new development, a potentially significant development. But peace is not at hand.&quot;  

    Obama said peace would only come through an Afghanistan-led process, and commended Karzai for taking a courageous step toward peace. He stressed that the U.S. military effort would continue in spite of the peace efforts.  

    &quot;We don't anticipate this process will be easy or quick but we must pursue it in parallel with our military approach. And we in the meantime remain fully committed to our military efforts to defeat al Qaeda and to support the Afghan national security forces,&quot; Obama said.  

    Despite the accompanying words of caution, the announcement of the planned talks represents a significant step forward in the peace process, which has struggled to achieve results despite years of attempts.  

    A team of envoys from the Taliban flew to Qatar in early 2012 to open talks with the U.S. government. But the Taliban suspended the talks in March 2012, saying Washington was giving mixed signals on the nascent Afghan reconciliation process.  

    Tiny, gas-rich Qatar has been an enthusiastic supporter of reconciliation efforts in a number of crises affecting the Muslim world including those in Afghanistan,  Yemen , Somalia, Lebanon and Darfur, often hosting peace talks on its own soil to try to prove it can punch above its weight in diplomacy.  

    Karzai, speaking on Tuesday as the U.S.-led NATO coalition launched a final phase of transferring responsibility for security to Afghan forces, said his government would send a team to Qatar. But he said the talks should quickly be moved to Afghanistan.  

    &quot;We hope that our brothers the Taliban also understand that the process will move to our country soon,&quot; he said.  

    U.S. officials said the goal was to ensure that Afghanistan did not remain a haven for terrorist groups and to defeat al Qaeda, which was given sanctuary by the Taliban in Afghanistan.  

    &quot;One of the things we will want to talk about from the very beginning is how they're going to cut ties with al Qaeda,&quot; a U.S. official said. &quot;How quickly, exactly how they're going to do it, how quickly.&quot;  

    A senior U.S. official said  Pakistan , which has provided sanctuary to the Taliban despite its professed support for the battle against Islamist militancy, had recently been supportive of the peace process.  

    &quot;There has in the past been skepticism about their support, but in recent months I think we've seen evidence that there is genuine support and that they've employed their influence such as it is to encourage the Taliban to engage,&quot; he said.  

    A U.S. official said the talks would be conducted on the Taliban side by its political commission, with the authorization of Mullah Omar, and also represent the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network. James Dobbins, the new special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, will lead the U.S. side.  

    The Haqqanis are considered the United States' deadliest foe in Afghanistan and the top U.S. and NATO commander in the country cast doubt on Tuesday over whether it could make peace.  

    &quot;All I've seen of the Haqqani would make it hard for me to believe they were reconcilable,&quot; U.S. General Joseph Dunford told Pentagon reporters by phone from Kabul.  

    U.S. officials said they expected detainee exchanges to be discussed in the talks. The United States will ask for the safe return of U.S. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who has been a prisoner since June 2009, the officials said. He is thought to be being held by Taliban militants in northwestern Pakistan.  




  Give up America, you have no experience in guerrilla warfare. You failed twice in this mission, you can't even fight in the jungles against the Vietnamese and the mountains with the Taliban.

      <title> O'Reilly Gets In Shouting Match With Juan Williams Over IRS: 'You've Been Pretty Bad&amp;quot;</title>

      <description>6/17/13 - Bill O'Reilly opened a segment of his show tonight by telling 
guest Juan Williams, &quot;You've been pretty crazy lately.&quot; If O'Reilly was 
hoping Williams would be different tonight, those hopes were dashed, as 
Williams aggressively fought back against his astonishment that the head
 of the FBI could not recall in front of Congress who is heading up the 
investigation into the IRS for tea party targeting. Williams also had 
some choice words for Republicans jumping to conclusions without any 
evidence supporting them, saying it's just slander.

RELATED: Juan Williams Goes Off The Rails Over NSA On O'Reilly: 'I Don't Want To Get Blown Up!'

Williams
 told O'Reilly he believes that FBI director Robert Mueller legitimately
 had no idea who was leading the IRS investigation. He explained that 
both parties &quot;think the world&quot; of Mueller, and he's not going to risk 
tarnishing his legacy by trying to cover anything up for Obama. O'Reilly
 likened Mueller's denial to him saying &quot;I don't know who's on The 
Factor tonight!&quot;

Williams rolled his eyes, shooting back that 
&quot;The FBI's a massive organization!&quot; O'Reilly and Williams got in a loud 
back-and-forth over this, with Williams saying Republicans jumping the 
gun and accusing the White House of having a direct connection without 
any evidence to support it is why Americans have such high contempt for 
Congress. Williams shouted, &quot;How weak is that?&quot;

Panelist Mary 
Katherine Ham said Mueller may not necessarily have acted with malice, 
but his inability to recall who was leading the IRS investigation is an 
&quot;investigation of how seriously they're taking the investigation.&quot; Ham 
added that it's politically advantageous for the Obama administration to
 be silent on all of this, and took a shot at Williams by telling him 
the whole point of an investigation is to ask questions.

O'Reilly
 declared that someone needs to go to prison over this, while Ham 
continued hammering Williams and saying it's ridiculous to stay 
questioning should stop. Williams insisted that's not his argument, 
saying if they have evidence, they should show it, but they don't and 
they can't. He cited the IG investigation into the IRS targeting and the
 multitude of Benghazi investigations, telling O'Reilly that trust in 
Obama is so low, even young people are jumping ship at this point.</description>

      <title>New Israeli long-range standoff (100 km) munition unveiled today at Paris Air Show</title>

      <description>Paraphrasing Oron Oriol, Executive VP of marketing and development at Rafael : &quot;The bomb is equipped with an  electro-optical targeting system   that allows it to strike targets even when the area targeted is saturated by GPS jamming systems . This bomb can hit targets 100 km away. It is also small and its radar signature is extremely low. Therefore it is very difficult for an air-defense system to detect it. Similarly, each F-16 can carry 16 of these bombs, each able to destroy a different target at once - this make it difficult for enemy radar. Air-defense systems, such as the S-300 and others, will have a very hard time dealing with these capabilities. The Israeli Air Force is currently the only customer operating this system. The Spice-250 allows the user to operate far away from the areas  which are saturated by air-defense systems.&quot;

The standoff range of 100km is the highest for any glide-bomb in the inventory along with the SDB. It is still less than half the standoff range of some missiles equipped on Israeli F-16s, such as  IMI's Delilah air-to-surface missile  (whose standoff range is 250 km), or Rafael's  Popeye Turbo air-to-surface missile  (whose standoff range is 320 km). But the Spice-250 works with no independent propulsion.

      <title>The most dangerous cities in America, 2013</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:43:48 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>
By Samuel Weigley, Alexander E. M. Hess and Michael B. Sauter 
 24/7 Wall St.com - 4 hours ago
After falling for five consecutive years, the number of violent crimes across the United States rose by 1.2% in 2012. Based on data published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the increase was even greater in some of America's largest cities. In 2012, for the third year in a row, Flint, Michigan had the highest violent crime rate in the country.

According to the FBI, violent crime includes murder, nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. In some cases, the cities with the highest violent crime rate, including Flint and Oakland, had high rates in all four categories. However, most of the most violent cities tend to do very poorly only in a few categories.

Yahoo! Homes is publishing the five most dangerous cities, based on the FBI Uniform Crime Report via 24/7 Wall St. To see the rest of the top 10 most dangerous cities in America, visit 24/7 Wall St. online:


 http://247wallst.com/2013/06/13/the-most-dangerous-cities-in-america-3/ 
Crime in these cities is typically not limited to just violent crime. Three cities - Birmingham, St. Louis and Oakland - were among the 10 worst cities in the nation for both violent crime andproperty crime. In some of the most dangerous cities, specific types of property crime were especially common. Flint and Cleveland had among the highest burglary rates, while Oakland, Detroit and St. Louis had among the highest rates of vehicle theft.

The economies of many of the most dangerous cities have been in bad shape for years, in some cases long before the Great Recession. The populations of many of the most dangerous cities declined, leaving behind highly impoverished urban centers. The loss of economic diversity, explained John Roman, senior fellow at the Urban institute, only serves to exacerbate crime in cities like Detroit, Flint, Cleveland and St. Louis.

In fact, all the 10 most dangerous cities had poverty rates above the national rate of 15.9% in 2011. In half of these cities, more than 30% of the population lived in poverty. Detroit and Flint had poverty rates of more than 40%. &quot;It is very clear that poverty in particular is associated with higher crime rates,&quot; explained Roman.

However, the relationship between the two is less certain. It is &quot;very difficult to say whether crime makes places poorer, or poverty causes more crime,&quot; Roman noted.

In many of the nation's most dangerous cities, unemployment is also extremely high. Seven of the 10 cities with the highest levels of violent crime had unemployment rates above 10% in 2012, much higher than the national unemployment rate of 8.1% that year. In two cities, Detroit and Stockton, the unemployment rate was more than 18% last year.

Low educational attainment also goes hand-in-hand with high crime rates. In all of the 10 most dangerous cities, the percentage of adults with a high school diploma was below the 86% national average. In five of these metro areas, the percentage of adults with a diploma was below 80%.

On its website, the FBI instructs readers to avoid comparing city violence because rankings tend to be simplistic and ignore factors that influence crime, as well as the different ways crimes are measured and reported. For this reason, Roman cautioned against directly comparing cities based on their individual crime rates. However, because the cities with the highest and lowest violent crime rates have remained consistent for many years, he believes comparing city ranks was useful.

Based on the FBI's Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Report, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 10 U.S. cities with populations of 100,000 or more with the highest rates of violent crime per 100,000 residents. Using estimated populations and crime incidents from the FBI, which measures incidents of eight types of violent and nonviolent crime for 2012, 24/7 Wall St. calculated the incidence of the four types of violent crime per 100,000 persons for that year: murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. In addition to crime data, 24/7 Wall St.reviewed median income and poverty rates for these cities from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2011, the most recent available year. We also included average 2012 unemployment rates for these cities from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

 5. Memphis, Tenn. 
&amp;gt; Violent crimes per 100,000: 1,750.0
&amp;gt; Population: 657,436
&amp;gt; 2012 murders: 133
&amp;gt; Poverty rate: 27.2%
&amp;gt; Percentage of adults with high school degree: 83.4%

Memphis had the third highest rate of aggravated assault in 2012, with 1,151.9 cases per 100,000 residents. This was up from the 1,032.3 cases per 100,000 in 2011. The city'smurder rate of 20.2 per 100,000 people and robbery rate of 514.4 per 100,000 people were also up from 2011. The high levels of crime has people in the Memphis area feeling uneasy. According to a recent Gallup survey, roughly 43% of Memphis area residents reported feeling unsafe walking at night, the highest percentage of all the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the country and significantly higher than the 28% across the United States.

 4. St. Louis, Mo. 
&amp;gt; Violent crimes per 100,000: 1,776.5
&amp;gt; Population: 318,667
&amp;gt; 2012 murders: 113
&amp;gt; Poverty rate: 27.0%
&amp;gt; Percentage of adults with high school degree: 83.9%

There were 1,120.6 aggravated assaults per 100,000 people in St. Louis in 2012, higher than all but three other cities. Moreover, the murder rate of 35.5 cases per 100,000 was the fifth highest of all cities. Although St. Louis's violent crime was still among the highest in the country, it has improved. There were 80 less violent crimes per 100,000 people in 2012 compared to 2011 - the best improvement of any city on this list, with the drop mostly attributable to 106 less robberies per 100,000 people in 2012 compared to the previous year. Law enforcement officials attributed some of the drop to an increased police presence in high-crime neighborhoods.

 3. Oakland, Calif. 
&amp;gt; Violent crimes per 100,000: 1,993.1
&amp;gt; Population: 399,487
&amp;gt; 2012 murders: 126
&amp;gt; Poverty rate: 21.0%
&amp;gt; Percentage of adults with high school degree: 79.9%

There were 1,085.9 robberies per 100,000 residents in Oakland in 2012, higher than any other city. This was also significantly higher than the 851.2 robberies per 100,000 just a year earlier. The rates of murder and aggravated assaults also increased in 2012 compared to 2011. Violent crime was not the only issue in Oakland, either - there were 6,594 property crimes per 100,000 residents in 2012, more than all but eight other cities, and up from 5,287.9 in 2011. Crime in the city has increased ever since the city's police department went through a round of layoffs in 2010 due to $30.5 million deficit.

2. Detroit, Mich.
&amp;gt; Violent crimes per 100,000: 2,122.6
&amp;gt; Population: 707,096
&amp;gt; 2012 murders: 386
&amp;gt; Poverty rate: 40.9%
&amp;gt; Percentage of adults with high school degree: 77.4%

Detroit's murder rate of 54.2 per 100,000 residents was the second highest in the country last year. The homicide rate in Detroit, which included 386 criminal murders and an additional 25 justifiable homicides, reached the highest level in nearly 40 years. In addition, the city's aggravated assault rate of 1,320.8 cases per 100,000 people was also the second highest in the United States, although this was an improvement from the 1,333.6 cases per 100,000 residents in 2011. Detroit has struggled economically in recent years. The city's 2012unemployment rate was a whopping 18.6%, much higher than the 8.1% across the nation last year. The median household income of $25,193 was less than half the national median for 2011.

 1. Flint, Mich. 
&amp;gt; Violent crimes per 100,000: 2,729.5
&amp;gt; Population: 101,632
&amp;gt; 2012 murders: 63
&amp;gt; Poverty rate: 40.6%
&amp;gt; Percentage of adults with high school degree: 82.9%

With a staggering 2,729.5 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, no city had a higher violent crime rate than Flint. The city of just 101,632 people had 63 total murders and 1,930 aggravated assaults, both the highest relative to the city's population. Flint also had nationwide highs in burglary rates and arson per 100,000 people. The sheriff of Genesee County, where Flint is located, proposed a plan to create a violent crime mobile response unit that would cost $3 million. However, Governor Rick Snyder rejected the plan because he believed resources would be better &quot;integrated into the ongoing efforts to make Flint safer.&quot; Like Detroit, Flint has suffered economically in recent years. The median household income was just $23,380 in 2011, the second-lowest of all 555 cities measured by the U.S. Census Bureau.

      <title>Cummings releases full transcript of IRS screening manager interview</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:58:38 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House Government Oversight Committee,  delivers  on his promise to call committee Chairman Darrell Issa's bluff:

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have just 
released a full transcript of testimony from a key witness in the 
investigation of IRS targeting of conservatives - and it appears to 
confirm that the initial targeting did originate with a low-level 
employee in the Cincinnati office.
It also shows a key witness and IRS screening manager - a self 
described conservative Republican - denying any communication with the 
White House or senior IRS officials about the targeting.

So now we know why Government Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa  didn't want  to to release the full transcripts-they show everything he's been saying is bunk. You can read the transcripts  here  and  here .   

Or you can read it here:

      <title>That Cheap Stuff You Just Bought At Walmart? Turns Out It Cost $6,000 More Than You Thought</title>

      <description>According to a Congressional study, $6,000 is the average amount taxpayers are being dinged  per employee.  Walmart's
 wages and benefits are so low, it forces workers to go on Medicaid and 
receive housing assistance, childcare subsidies, food stamps, and more. 
Yes, it's totally insane, but it's true.</description>
