    A new report this morning states that the Taliban have gained ground in Afghanistan. Instead of them losing out to the huge western military presence, the opposite is the case.

    One year ago they 'had a presence' in 54% of Afghanistan, today they have a presence in 72% of Afghanistan. The Poppy (drugs) Industry is thriving like never before .There are other statistics and so forth and so on, but let me just mention one more. Three out of the Seven main routes into the capitol itself, Kabul, are under Taliban control, which is pretty staggering information after all this time and all the western weaponry, and of course after all the loss of life. So despite the overwhelming force against them, the Taliban appear to be winning the war.

    "Our Political masters will tell us differently but the troops on the ground will agree with this" said the reports author's on R4 this morning.

    Many a foreign power has come a cropper in this bleak country, as we all know only too well. Now there are calls from one or two western leaders for dialogue.

    It looks like its the only way we as a Nato force are ever going to get anywhere...

    "jaw jaw not war war"..said one former US President.
