A rise in IED strikes could merely indicate a lack of other weapons/ammo, in otherwords a disruption in their supply lines. Perhaps there are more IED strikes simply because there are more ISAF troops to be attacked?<br /><br />You can draw any conclusion you want when you take one fact in isolation. What about ISAF/ANSF freedom of movement? What about the presence of shadow governors? What about the presence of girls in schools? Local marketplaces? These are some among many factors that all have to be considered before we can say the Taliban are back.Lt.
