President Pervez Musharraf has said that the US-led coalition forces were 'failing' to curb the Taliban in Afghanistan and that they would 'keep failing' if they pursued their current policies.

'They are failing in Afghanistan ... they need to understand the realities, and convert the failure into success. We need to look into why they are failing. They have given a very, very easy cause, the scapegoat of Pakistan. They will keep failing in Afghanistan if they continue following this trend,' he told British TV Channel 4 News.


On his part, he has reiterates his proposal for fencing and mining of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, that has not found favour with Kabul and that the West thinks is not practicable.


'I know what is happening across the border, and I have spoken about fencing, mining the border. Let's mine the border and make sure nobody crosses it. I am for it.' NNI news agency quoted him as saying.


About his talks with the British prime minister, he said, 'Tony Blair is absolutely onboard with everything I have told you,' the Daily Times quoted Musharraf telling the NNI news agency.

3. The truly sad part of the Pakistani president presenting such a

final and all out solution of landmines and fences, is the blatant revelation of this administrations failures on foreign policy. We did not finish the job in Afghanistan and it is coming back to bite us. We spread our forces to thin, by pursuing the debacle in the desert and now may lose on the Afghan front as well as the Taliban continue their resurgence.
