Talking to a private TV Channel, Gen. Gul said that NATO forces have intensified their activities on Pak-Afghan border as they are frustrated due to their failure in Afghanistan. US- backed Karzai government has completely failed in Afghanistan and the USA has now realized that they are now facing strong resistance from Taliban. Gul said that the American policy is to use different tactics to pressurize Pakistan and the main objective of recent visit of US Vice-President Dick Cheney to pressurize Pakistan as US would need Pakistan’s support and Balochistan land to attack Iran. The Pakistani government may say no. Criticizing the government, said ‘that. Pakistan presently was facing difficult time of its history due to weak politics of present government. Pakistan is a strong and nuclear capable country and has impregnable defence, he added.
