Dem Rep: Taliban 'Not Necessarily' Terrorists

The Dems continue to amaze!

Rep. Jackie Speier (D., Calif.) said on MSNBC’s NewsNation Tuesday that it is not "necessarily accurate" to call the Taliban terrorists.

"Let me underscore the term ‘terrorist,’" Speier tried to explain. "The Taliban is part of the fabric of Afghanistan — they were part of the leadership of that country before we engaged there."

"We are now actively attempting to get the Taliban to negotiate with Karzai and the Afghanistan government," she continued, "because there will be some cooperation, some level of coordination between the two if that country is going to survive and move forward."

"So," she concluded, "to say that they are ‘terrorists,’ at this point, is not necessarily accurate."
