The greatest threat in the country remains Al Qaida, Taliban and other indigenous military groups. These groups operate mostly on the Pakistan border and in the south. U.S., coalition and Afghan combat forces are positioned and employed to defeat these threats.” [Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL), Remarks to House Committee on International Relations, 9/23/04]

REP. ROHRABACHER (R-CA) A couple of serious questions here. First, before I get into the more contentious one, let me ask Mr. Rodman about perhaps -- the general stated that there are still operations going on against the Taliban and described them as the biggest threat still remaining, the remnants of the Taliban. Would you agree with that?

PETER RODMAN (Assistant Secretary of Defense, Int’l Security Affairs): “As General Sharp said, that's the main mission of most of our troops, these operations in the Afghan-Pakistan border area.

ROHRABACHER: Right and so the Taliban are still a force to be reckoned with.

RODMAN: Al Qaeda and Taliban and some extremist allies of theirs.

Bush, yesterday:

[A]s a result of the United States military, [the] Taliban no longer is in existence.
