Nepal Maoist leader calls for talks

...and the government has turned him down, for the second time in recent months. The Maoists talked once, using the down-time to rearm and regroup. Their negotiator received a 'phone call DURING THE NEGOTIATIONS and got up and left. They resumed their attacks immediately. Now that the government has military aid money from the U.S. and India is all but choking off their activities on that side of the border, Prachanda will have to feed that bone to another dog. The government has no need to negotiate. The governments spokesman, a Minister Gupta, said there could be no talks while operations were ongoing - Could be paraphrased as "We're too busy kicking your butts to talk to you".
 
My fairly uneducated opinion is that the Maoists who destroyed critical West-provided infra- structure upon which ordinary Nepalis depended is that they should be shown the same consideration that they themselves showed to the ordinary Nepali.

NONE.

Case closed. :grumpy:
 
from all that I can tell the so called Maoist are really nothing more than dacoits preying on who they can and pretending that they're fighting for those same people
 
The Maoists are on the run. If they were not they wouldn't care to talk. I think talks are a last ditch effort to try to hold onto some of their ill gotten gains.

Beo, that's what I hear from the field. The Maoists are a bunch of hoods using the money they rob from the banks (and everywhere else they can steal it) to their own end.
 
News items all through this story have included accounts of foodstuffs and grain returned to villages after army raids on Maoist locations. They are like locusts.
 
If the maoist leader is willing to stick his neck out, may I suggest responding by sending Sgt. Kharka with the GRS he used on the goat from the Puja.
 
The good Sgt. could give a new meaning to the title of "Party Head"....and an improvement, at that :eek:
 
Sgt. Karka -- battle ready but not battle dressed.

'nother sarge.

Hey, saw my cousin that I haven't seen in 25 years. He's in between leave, he's a USAF Sarge, works with forward refuelling systems. He's heading back to Saudi for his 8th tour there. He's been in for 16 years, seen 43 countries. Fired on in 11 engagements. Fired back in many as well. He's a marksman, which is cool, as his name is Mark.

My family's got a lot of history in the USAF. May dad was in the 6910th Radio, in Germany. Part of the USAF SS. Freaky stuff...Hey, somebody had to fight the Cold War...

Thot I'd share.

There used to be an old Navy recruiting slogan that said, "Join the Navy and see the world." What they didn't put in was the world is 80% water.
