Bill Frist reaches out to the Taliban

I could have sworn that we went into Afghanistan for two reasons:

1) To get Osama bin Laden. We know how well that's gone so far.

2) To remove the Taliban from power.

[Frist] said the only way to win in places like the volatile southern part of the country is to "assimilate people who call themselves Taliban into a larger, more representative government."

"Approaching counterinsurgency by winning hearts and minds will ultimately be the answer," Frist said. "Military versus insurgency one-to-one doesn't sound like it can be won. It sounds to me ... that the Taliban is everywhere."
