Musharraf admits truce with taliban backfired

No shit. Times of India

LAHORE: Ex-Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf has admitted that his government’s secret agreement with the Taliban had
backfired.

The Taliban had misled Musharraf’s administration, the Daily Times quoted him as saying.[...]

Earlier, Musharraf had fiercely denied playing a double game of supporting the Taliban while receiving US funding to fight them when he was in power.

“Get your facts correct, I have never double-dealt. There is a big conspiracy being hatched against Pakistan, to weaken the Pakistan army and the ISI, to weaken Pakistan,” Musharraf told New York Times journalist David Sanger, who had alleged Pakistan of duplicity.
