Kandahar airport: British Prime Minister Gordon Brown pledged a renewed effort to defeat the Taliban, in hailing the coming months, while meeting the critical forces in Afghanistan on Sunday.

Brown made an unannounced visit after two weeks of ordering 500 more British troops to war, along with a wave of 30,000 U.S. troops as part of the new U.S. strategy to turn around a wide and eight years of war.

Held talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai at a military base in southern Helmand and Kandahar where the Taliban were born and one of the bloodiest battlefields for the NATO and U.S. forces since the 2001 invasion and conquest.

Prime Minister Sharon visited the new military equipment, including reconnaissance planes, said London was sent to Afghanistan in an attempt to address the controversy over the alleged lack of supplies, and wished the British forces on the occasion of Eid birth.

“The joint efforts of the allied forces with the Afghan government is how we will defeat the insurgency and the way that al Qaeda will stop having any space to operate inAfghanistan,” he said in a joint news conference with Karzai.

“I think the next few months is clearly crucial,” said Brown told reporters traveling with him.

Deployment of additional forces which will raise the number of British troops in Afghanistan to more than 10,000, will arrive “in the next few days,” he said.

Brown said the equipment to the British mission, which is the second-largest contingent behind the United States, “improving every day,” and said the number of helicopters have doubled in the past three years.

“These things are being done as calculated to weaken the Taliban and found that they could not win in this campaign,” he said.
