Biden: ‘The Taliban Per Se Is Not Our Enemy’
Weekly Standard
In an interview with Leslie Gelb in Newsweek, Vice President Joe Biden says:
Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical. There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy because it threatens U.S. interests. If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us.

Wild Thing’s comment……
Can you imagine being over in Afghanistan and hearing that the VP of the country you are serving says crap like this??? sheesh!
No I can’t.
We must assume that the Democrats are going to be trying to suppress the military vote. Even a Corporal understands more about international affairs than Biden.
The Obama/Biden ticket needs voters who can’t find Afghanistan on a map or know which continent it is on.
Hi Avitar,
The public education system is turning out many voters like that. Biden is a jerk and his boss is a very dangerous jerk.
Thank you so much Avitar and Bob A.
