War in Afghanistan cannot be won: British commander LONDON: The top British commander in Afghanistan says it's not possible to win the war against the Taliban and that a deal with the Islamic militants might have to be reached to end their insurgency.

Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith made the comment in an interview with London's Sunday Times.

He said the aim of the conflict needs to be about reducing the insurgency so that it no longer poses a strategic threat and can be dealt with by the Afghan army.

NATO commanders and diplomats have been saying for some time that the Taliban insurgency cannot be defeated by military means alone and that negotiations with the militants will ultimately be needed to bring an end to the conflict.

A senior Taliban commander on Friday rejected reconciliation with what he called the "puppet" Afghan government.
