Pure damage control from the Obama administration. The Taliban were an absolutely vicious regime in Afghanistan and in my opinion talking to "moderate" elements of the Taliban is like accepting Albert Speer as he was a moderate Nazi.

Why is that I wonder?

Most people believe that he wants to bring the troops home as they have suffered enough, I feel that he has an ulterior motive.
