That's quite different from the AP story thread where I ripped him a new one.
Maybe I'm just being dense here, but how does Frist's new statement differ significantly from the AP story? He's still saying that we must appease supporters of the Taliban. The [i]only[/i] way that such people can be appeased is by supporting the policies of the Taliban, with their fundamentalist mindsets and mistreatment of women. It's still letting the islamofascists win.
The only difference is that his clarification is more vague, and the AP story made the integration of the Taliban sound more formal - which, given their dreamworld, they may very well have thought he was saying.

Rule #1: NEVER, EVER, trust a liberal "journalist" or "correspondent".
Rule #2: Refer to Rule #1.
Quotes taken out of context are standard practice in the media, I was dismayed (not surprised) to see so many knee-jerk comments in reaction to his comments.
