'We failed in Afghanistan': A new consensus emerges
"Both Britain's military and political leaders are blaming the west's failure in Afghanistan on the lack of a political solution after 2001.
David Cameron was quick to agree with the UK's General Nick Carter, the deputy commander of the International Security Assistance Force taking on the Taliban, that the biggest mistakes on Afghanistan were made soon after the 2001 invasion.
Carter told the Guardian the turmoil faced in Afghanistan was caused by "essentially political problems" and that these "are only ever solved by people talking to each other"."
