Transcript (starts around the 4:40 mark):

Let me underscore the term “terrorist.” 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 President Karzai and the [Afghani] government, because there will be some cooperation, some level of coordination between the two if that country is going to survive and move forward. So, to say that they are terrorists, at this point, is not necessarily accurate.

The Taliban are just patriotic Afghanis. So stop being so judgmental, you guys, and give ‘em a chance.

Today he’s troubled because of the debateable launch of high level Taliban prisoners in return for Bowe Bergdahl.
