"In the case of the 10-year old Global War on Terror, Taliban you are NOT the enemy!"
(I had to channel my inner Maury Povich for a second. Apologies)
So yeah, the guy Obama brought on board to bolster his foreign policy doesn't think the TB are the bad guys.
Stay classy, Mr. Vice President.

“We are in a position where if Afghanistan ceased and desisted from being a haven for people who do damage and have as a target the United States of America and their allies, that’s good enough. That’s good enough. We’re not there yet. Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical. There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy because it threatens U.S. interests. If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us.”
