They cant beat them so they are trying to bribe them. The Taliban are succeeding in grinding down the U.S and griding down NATO.
They are trying to look for ways to run away now.
In iraq they knew that the shia militias wouldn't keep fighting because there people were in power and had gained control in iraq, the problem were the sunni arabs who had lost power the turning point in iraq was not the surge which would have ultimately been futile it was the fact that they had to pay 100,000 sunni fighters to not fight
In Afghanistan the afghans are good at playing the double game, they will take the money and still kill american and nato troops.
Ultimatley the Taliban have done very well in grinding the americans down and forcing them into this situation where they openly want to talk to and deal with the Taliban.
