Peace talks are favored by parties seeking peace with other belligerants. If you are obviously winning, and believe you are going to win no matter what, you aren't going to care about peace talks or their outcome; it's irrelevant. Did we seek Peace Talks on day 2 of the Gulf War? Iraq Invasion? Afghanistan November 2001? No. The idea probably seems rediculous to you, doesn't it... Why seek peace when you're busy rearranging their country with large quantities of ordanance. Vietnam? Korea? Oh, yes, lets sit down and work out our differences like gentleman.
The fact that we are actively trying to make peace through diplomacy, and the Taliban are not, probably speaks volumes as to the eventual winners of that conflict.
