US in talks with Insurgents

Once again the US has bothered wasting time talking to insurgents in Iraq. Beyond peaceful surrenders and informants I can't see the point behind talking to insurgents. All this does is stall our troops and make us miss a chance to apprehend them. No end to the violence can be negotiated because there is no chain of command among terrorists. This is the problem we now face after making a critical mistake during the initial invasion. Our forces swept directly into Bagdad, destroying the center of Iraqi power rather than securing the borders and laying seige to Bagdad. This strategy would have allowed for a treaty of surrender to be negotiated, the chain of command preserved, and the insurgency avoided.
However, to dewell on what should have been done is not productive. We must deal with reality and wish to change the future, not the past. The insurgency cannot be negotiated with and therefore it is best that our soldiers not waste their time talking and continue with the only solution left. Eliminate the insurgents one at a time until either the Iraqis can take over the task or there are no more insurgents to be had.
