Things have changed since then.

5. there are lots of maps..

6. I appreciate that. I guess what I want to know is how

much territory has the Taliban/al Qaeda taken back since the war on Iraq. What made me think that is the gains they made this past week where they took over area once held by the Brits and their appointed leaders.
