President admits terror war lapses
Daily Times, February 3, 2006
Islamabad: President Pervez Musharraf said that some members of the security forces had turned a “blind eye” towards Taliban militants. But Musharraf rejected allegations that the ISI was collaborating with the insurgents, saying that the ISI was closely working with US intelligence. “We had some incidents I know of that in some posts, a blind eye was being turned. So similarly I imagine that others may be doing the same,” he said. He gave the example of a typical checkpost on the Afghan border, saying it was difficult if only two men on guard are faced with a group of “20 well-armed, well-trained and well-motivated people challenging them”. staff report/agencies

i guess it is a gradual process until they admit to bigger lapses, first they came out saying some 'former' army officals might be aiding the taliban, now he is admiting that active forces 'turned a blind eye', guess what is next!
If ---'' it was difficult if only two men on guard are faced with a group of “20 well-armed, well-trained and well-motivated people challenging them”--is an explanation of the inability to fight them, then time to forget the illussion of 'sovereignty' and allow the forces chasing the Taliban to the border post that allowed them in, to follow them until caught!
