LONDON, England (CNN) -- The Taliban insurgency is widening its presence in Afghanistan and "closing a noose around Kabul," an international think tank report says.The report -- issued Monday by the International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) -- said the Taliban movement "now holds a permanent presence in 72 percent of Afghanistan, up from 54 percent a year ago."
NATO, which commands about 50,000 troops in the country, disputes the figures.
I understand that what is, is. Still, it is frustrating to have to be having this discussion at all. Here we are, coming up to 8 years after 9/11 and Afganistan is still not resolved. On top of that, the very group responsible for harboring al-Qaeda, the Taliban, looks to be close to resuming control. Any way I look at it, I see failure.
Failure: The Hallmark of BushCo™.
