Taliban Offensive?

But, but, but... I just read this morning that they are in retreat!

Taliban Retreat

WTF?


Another Afghan district falls to Taliban

"Taliban fighters have overrun a second district in western Afghanistan, a district governor said Friday, warning the rebels could be planning to sweep into his own area.

The police and administration heads of the strategic Bakwa district in Farah province had fled after days of attacks by scores of rebels, the official said, after the militants late Monday took the adjacent Gulistan district.

Elsewhere in the same mountainous province, Taliban militants attacked a police post overnight and killed a policeman and wounded another."

But, but, but... I was told we are winning?!
