Joe Biden: Taliban is Not Our Enemy

Apparently, Vice President Joe Biden doesn't think the Taliban is our enemy.  In a recent interview with Newsweek, Biden discussed issues facing the U.S. in relation to China, Iraq and the war on terror. 

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.

  And to think Barack Obama chose this guy as his vice president because of his "foreign policy experience."
