Joe Biden Explains The Moderate Terrorist

Some foreign policy brilliance from VP Joe Biden.

BIDEN: Five percent the Taliban [sic] is incorrigible not susceptible to anything other than being defeated. Another 25% or so are not quite sure, in my view, the intensity of their committment to the insurgency and roughly 70% are involved, because of the money.

The Washington Times reported today that Vice President Biden said that negotiations with the Taliban were likely. After all the heavy lifting the George W. Bush administration did against a much more powerful Taliban, it is not surprising the new Obama administration is shying away from taking on a now out of power Taliban.
