Taliban Are Not Terrorists, or So Says the White House

The Obama administration’s last months at the White House are ones of extreme denial. Including, “the Taliban are not terrorists”. The Taliban just blew up 26 Afghan citizens in Kabul…

ABC:

They act like terrorists, they regularly kill civilians like terrorists, but the White House does not consider the Afghan Taliban to be a terrorist group.

“They do carry out tactics that are akin to terrorism. They do pursue terror attacks in an effort to try to advance their agenda,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained today, but “they have a different classification.”

Semantics aside, the Taliban is suspected in multiple attacks over just the last 48 hours that have killed more than 30 people, including a suicide bombing attack on a funeral in Afghanistan today that killed 16 and wounded 39.
