BREAKING: TALIBAN CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR MURDER OF THREE AMERICANS AT KABUL AIRPORT

On Wednesday White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz argued that the Taliban is not a terrorist group, but instead an “armed insurgency.”

On Thursday White House Spokesman Josh Earnest doubled-down on the idiocy. Earnest told reporters:

“They have a different classification. They have a classification that does allow us to place financial concessions against them that have succeeded in limiting their capability. They’ve been effective. And that is different than an organization like Al-Qaeda that has much broader global aspiration to carry out acts of violence and acts of terror.”

Armed insurgents, if memory serves.
Good thing they're not terrorists! Maybe we can invite them over for coffee and help them see the error of their ways...no, that would be too judgmental

Our own government is committing treason. Abandoned its oath. Clear as damn day.

My Father was an “armed insurgent” when the Soviets invaded Hungary and the Hungarians engaged in a Revolution to restore freedom and to stop the rapes and murders of their people by the Soviet troops.

Big difference from the Taliban and an insult to true “Freedom Fighters”

You answered your own question, these people have no shame whatsoever.

Nixon began this trend with his behavior, which is odd because he had Eisenhower as a model. Clinton took shameless behavior in public life to new heights. He has shown the way for the dems and they still love him. Think about it for a minute. Can you imagine Eisenhower or Reagan or even Johnson consenting to an interview with a green lipped Youtube performer? Obama has brought shame upon his office. The saddest part is that he doesn't even know it.

“Our own government” = Obama. Yes, he is committing treason as much as he can, as fast as he can, in the limited time he has left. Obama is nothing more than a jealous Arab. Jealous of Israel. Jealous of the U.S. Will destroy as much of both nations as he is allowed. No one to stop him. The members of his administration are equally guilty.

Armed Insurgents or Freedom fighters or terrorists

They are enemy soldiers, specifically they are the irregular forces of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.

That’s the non-terrorist group, right?

“Nixon began this trend.....”
Ever hear of John Fitzgerald Kennedy? Not the first, but the most proficient given the limited time in office.

Kennedy at least had enough shame to hide his peccadilloes from the American people, as did Roosevelt.

I am referring to Nixon's appearance on the wall of "Laugh-In". It was funny at the time, but in retrospect, beneath the office.

Not to put too fine a point on your reply but....
Please advise me as to how Nixon’s”LAUGH-In” connects with:
“BREAKING: TALIBAN CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR MURDER OF THREE AMERICANS AT KABUL AIRPORT” article.
My reference is not to peccadilloes, but flat out deceit like the Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, stealing the 1960 election, coup and murder of Diem, Viet Nam escalation....
