Regrettably a careful reading of this NYT story shows:

1. Any successes, no matter how small, by and of the Taliban and al Qaida are trumpeted by the world media as "wins"

2. Whereas any successes, no matter how small, by and of the Pakistan military and/or our allied/NATO forces in Afghanistan/on the Pakistani side of the border are trumpted by rthe world media as "disasterous losses."
