Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan refuses to call the Taliban the enemy and says 'it's hard to put a label on it'

Jake Sullivan wouldn't classify the Taliban as an enemy of the U.S. – or really put them under any classification – during a Tuesday interview upon the president declaring an end to the 20-year war in Afghanistan.

'What is the Taliban? Are they now our frenemy, are they our adversary, are they our enemy? Are they our – what are they?' MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace asked Sullivan.

'Well, it's hard to put a label on it,' Biden's national security adviser responded.

He added: 'In part because we have yet to see what they are going to be now that they're in control – physical control of Afghanistan.'

Earlier this month, as U.S. forces began pulling out of Afghanistan, the Taliban was able to overrun the country in just over a week. And after 11 days, the Islamic militant group had control of the capital city of Kabul.

My guess is that this is all about seeing what the Taliban does with the Americans still trapped in Afghanistan.

Sullivan is an excellent example of the Stockhom syndrome. Since 9/11 this phenomena has greatly affected much the American population and is especially evident in many of its “leaders”. Historians one day will ponder the fact that less than 7 years after 9/11 the American people elected Barack Hussein Obama , a man openly sympathetic to Islam, as their President and since 9/11 have allowed millions of Muslims, who have little affinity or respect for Western culture, into their country.Much of what has happened since 9/11 must be considered in this context. The law, media, academia, government, private organizations, corporate culture and many ordinary citizens have been transformed to accomadate them. The jihadist are not wrong when they say 9/11 was spectacularly successful and advanced their ultimate goals.

Heh -- Bruce Campbell is awesome, and we have the same jawlines so I figured what the hell....

You're probably right about the Americans they have. They'll ransom whoever they can, and then kill the rest.

Because biden has told them that the taliban will be becoming out friend and that will justify sending them a few billion dollars.

Can these fools in the “Talibiden” administration get any dumber? I swear, I think that they all are taking classes in that subject, “How to get dumber and dumber.”

You can tell what someone believes by their actions. We gave them the country and our stuff, and then he says the above.

I get it now. We intentionally empowered them.
