His office later released a statement saying he meant something entirely different
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) had to stumble over his own words when he said that perhaps members of the Taliban should be included in Afghanistan's government as a way to end the violence there.
Frist's comments came while on a visit to a military base in Afghanistan with Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) yesterday. Frist said that due to the extensive number of Taliban in Afghanistan that it was unlikely the war could be won militarily, suggesting that perhaps it would be a good idea to consider inviting them into the government as a way of solving the violence there.
