10% of Afghanistan Under Taliban Control?

Bullshit alrert. Both AP and the good General have reputations for spinning the data in favour of the US. More like 60% (mostly rural) territory under Taliban rule.

Army Gen. John Nicholson tells Pentagon reporters that there are up to 1,300 Islamic State militants in Syria, mainly in the east. And he said Islamic State leaders in Syria provide money, command-and-control guidance and communications support to their militants in Afghanistan. But he says U.S. and Afghan military operations have targeted the group, killing many leaders and members, so they are in fewer Afghan districts now than they were months ago. LINK
