Read your Koran, folks. Negotiations are entered into while in a position of weakness, and bluff is a time-honored start to negotiations in the lands where barter has been the staple for centuries. If the Taliban had strength, they wouldn't barter. They're using this to buy time and build strength. It will be most interesting to see how the Afghani government handles it, and if a cease-fire will be stipulated by either side. - Max The Taliban start negotiations with demands, as if they’re in a position of strength?

Taking casualties is just not that big a deal to them. Where's their center of gravity? Judging by the reaction to the Red Mosque, that's getting warmer.
