I've got a couple buddies working on ETTs training and fighting with ANA right now. Both have been in country since this past May. One of them is in Helmand and the other operates out of Kandahar and both report no significant setbacks due to recent Taliban activity.
There has been an increase in the number of engagements in the past six months, but the Taliban are getting wacked left and right with no significant NATO/ANA casualties. There is some concern regarding a major Taliban push this Spring, but my friends report that they are more than prepared.
As has been already stated, the recent influx of negative MSM reports regarding Afghanistan is nothing more than an attempt to legitimize the Liberal talking points that Iraq is a distraction from OEF.
