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

baraq is drifting more and more to who he really is.
Biden doesn’t know what planet he is on.
Of Course the Taliban is our enemy.
ONE of them.
We have many, the worst right here in America with us.
Obama has done us far more damage than the Taliban. His policies have placed Islam in charge Egypt and Libya, they have destroyed our economy, they have weakened our military, they have made us a laughing stock in South America and they have tossed away trillions of dollars.
Muslims grow stronger in Europe every day, and they continue to grow stronger in the Middle east, and here we are accepting them and they are praying in our schools when we cannot, we are being invaded by illegals,while our Justice Department attacks our States.
We are rotting from within.
“They are pro islam and the president is a muslim without a doubt.”

I see no evidence that he is a Muslim, and certainly not a practicing Muslim.
Obumbo is a Marxist, so most likely he is atheist.
As an atheist, he will use ANY religion when it advances his agenda to destroy America as it was formed.
Thus, they became the enemy
As GWB said "You are either with us, or you are against us" The taliban chose...unwisely Remind me again how many Americans have been killed by taliban fighters and how many held captive, even now? Is the taliban leader and osama co-conspirator Mullah Omar not the second most wanted man in the world?
After all, the Islamo-Fascist, Appeaser-in-Chief and his clueless minions, Big Sis, the WUSSIFIED, REMF, Joint Chiefs and Commie State Dept., keep reminding us that we are NOT at war against Islam and the ONLY threat we face is from Al-Qaeda and since our Hero Dear Leader took out Bin Laden, they are on their last leg.
Now with regards to the Tally-Ban, they are simply, begnign, practitioners of the "Religion of Pieces" and thus will act in a civilized and humane manner, if we simply leave them alone.
RIGHT!
The fact that his sperm donor was a moslem makes HIM a moslem. An apostate moslem, but a moslem nonetheless.
Among the enemies of a Free America are plugs and nobama (and their minions).
That is why you let them in this country and taught them to fly planes.
Oh, that’s just Joe.
Also one must remember what the 18 terrorists did right before they murdered 3000 Americans... spent a night drinking whiskey and getting lap dances... TAQIYYA!
LLS
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then why are we over there killing them?
Sheesh.

Well his name certainly should have given you a clue. (I mean the one he is currently using) He was born a moslem, and you just can't stop being one.
and certainly not a practicing Muslim.
So why did he bow down to the Saudi "King"?
Why is Obama able to chant the opening lines of the Adhan, the Muslim Call to Prayer in Arabic (with a first class accent) and then comment that this is One of the Prettiest Sounds On Earth At Sunset.?
Why then did the non-moslem Obama say:
In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans...I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction...and also say as much in his book?
Why did the non-moslem slip and say to George Stepinawfulpiss:
My muslim faith?
...only to be corrected by the RAT-hack "journalist"? (Oh yeah, yeah...that's what I meant)
Such BS.
“I am convinced that he is a muslim.”
________________________________________
I should have better phrased my reply.
I am aware of his Muslim heritage, but do not see him
practicing it to any extent.
Do not forget , he spent many years in Ruvrud Write’s
nondescript CHURCH of hate.
I have no doubt that he is sympathetic to Muzies, but if
he is a true believer, he is in the very back of the closest.

Rev Wright has acknowledged he is a marxist and defended being a marxist.
Add Wright’s racism, anti-Semitism and anti-American hate, it’s all on display with mullah obama.
