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

This story outlines what BO is giving away in those ‘secret’ negotiations.
Among the things they get are:
1. Release of all Taliban prisoners in Guantanamo.
2. Diplomatic relations - “unequivocal support” for an office in other countries.
All they have to do is stop killing Americans. But they arent our enemies.
Thanks driftdiver.
So, lets start out by sending those videos of the TALIBAN executing women, regularly, in soccer stadiums for the unforgivable crime of wanting an education. Just constantly bombard the feminists with those videos reminding them that the TALIBAN is not the enemy of the world.
That ought to go over about as well as a fart in a diving bell when a spokesman for them declares the TALIBAN is not our enemy in a vain attempt to support their overlords in this administration.
And there you have it, the circus supporting the clown.
Biden meant to the Japanese and Germans are not our enemy. Plugs has finally disclosed the terminal condition he suffers from pubic hair transplant syndrome.
Since when did they start spelling his name Usama instead of Osama??? Too close to Obama I guess.
Maybe the taliban isn’t an enemy of the U.S. but one of those f-ing turds killed my nephew.
I will ALWAYS be an enemy of the taliban
Joe Biden is a drunk.

So who were we fighting for ten years? They have to go now!
And yet...we continue to tolerate this crap...
Tell ya what, Joe... I'll go along with that as soon as you get Daniel Pearl to concur.
o cmon its nothing to lose your head over
The red states are the enemy.
They should speak more precisely. The Taliban isn't the Obama Regime's enemy, just an enemy of America and of freedom - the same as the current regime in what used to be the United States of America.
The Taliban and this administration are enemies of America and both have so stated, in word and deed.
But you can double-down on it.
