White House Stands by Biden Statement That Taliban Isn’t U.S. Enemy

The White House on Monday defended Vice President Joe Biden for saying that the Taliban isn’t an enemy of the United States despite the years spent fighting the militant Islamic group that gave a home to Al Qaeda and its leader Usama bin Laden while he plotted the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

“It’s only regrettable when taken out of context,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said of the vice president’s remarks in an interview published Monday.

“It is a simple fact that we went into Afghanistan because of the attack on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. We are there now to ultimately defeat Al Qaeda, to stabilize Afghanistan and stabilize it in part so that Al Qaeda or other terrorists who have as their aim attacks on the United States cannot establish a foothold again in that country,” Carney continued.

During Biden’s interview with Newsweek last week, the vice president said it’s “good enough” for the U.S. if Afghanistan stops being a “haven for people who do damage and have as a target the United States of America” and its allies. He added that the U.S. is supportive of a reconciliation process between the Afghan government and the Taliban even if it’s questionable whether a reconciliation is possible.

“Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical,” Biden said

New Jersey Freeper ping to post #4 and #14.

We need to help Congressman Allen West bring attention to other members of Congress to demand Obama’s Catch & Release policy be stopped! AND, for Michael Behenna to be released from Leavenworth for killing a known terrorist who had killed US soldiers!

If one wishes to be removed from my ping lists, please let me know through FreepMail. Thanks!
