TALKING with Taliban moderates in Afghanistan is a tactic "worth exploring", US Vice President Joe Biden says.
"It's worth exploring. The idea of what concessions would be made is well beyond the scope of my being able to answer,'' said Mr Biden at NATO headquarters in Brussels today.
"I do think it's worth engaging and determining whether or not there are those who are willing to participate in a secure and stable Afghan state,'' he said.
Mr Biden said that while the US-led forces were not winning the war in Afghanistan, neither was the conflict lost.
"We are not now winning the war but the war is far from lost,'' he said.
Earlier he warned that Afghanistan posed a terrorist threat to all NATO countries as he sought help for a new strategy to confront the Taliban insurgency.

This Administration is VERY odd!

The notion that there are ‘Moderate’ Taliban and that they can be reasoned with is totally absurd and fallacious.
The Taliban themselves pointed out Obama’s folly today, calling this rhetoric “illogical”
I have a video uploading to Youtube this very minute discussing this asinine foreign policy blunder.
God Help us.
These yokels have just plain lost their chit. We have been taken over by morons and zombies. 325 million people being held hostage by 2 zombies and 535 morons.
It is time to say enough is enough. This fool has been in office 50 days and we are down the tubes.
So’s the idea that your famously high IQ will be enhanced by hair plugs, Joey. THAT’S THREE LETTERS, JOEY, J-O-E-Y.
“The idea of what concessions would be made is well beyond the scope of my being able to answer”
Another piece of governance above their pay grade.
OK, Joe, will you be in charge of picking out the gifts for foreign dignitaries from now on? Could you handle that?
They are no different than anyone. People only think and believe what they know. One hell of an insight into this administration. Idiots, yes.

Isn’t it a bit like Kissinger said of Carter? It isn’t that he doesn’t know; it’s that he doesn’t know that he doesn’t know.
I would love for Biden or Obama to go visit them. You KNOW they would probably get their heads cut off, and that would be just fine with me. It saves on the cost of rope. LOL!
Man, oh man, we have some of the dumbest people in America running the country now.
"The Taliban are united, have one leader, one aim, one policy...I do not know why they are talking about moderate Taliban and what it means?"Taliban say Obama's call on moderates "illogical"
What it means. Zig for great justice. They set us up the bomb
I agree. This administration is nuts!
Well, that’s it in a nutshell. They don’t know and capture the heart of every other bastard in this country that doesn’t know either. That’s enough for me to know there is a higher power.
This would be like trying to find moderate Nazis in Germany, who were you going to talk to Goering?, Goebbels? Hess?
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so.~~Ronald Reagan
Moderate Taliban? Now, there’s an oxymoron (Yes, I’m referring to Biden too).
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Odd? You mean retarded and treasonous.
....above his pay grade too. The concessions or just being able to answer, because your capabilities to represent the US with dignity and confidence is sorely missed.
