"Afghan: Taliban has 10,000 to 15,000 fighters" - US & NATO, 60,000 - 70,000+.
(Depends upon if one counts the "surge".)
And they're winning. "Delegation visiting U.S. says new strategy for region must include Pakistan."
"The 17,000 increase will bring the number of US forces in Afghanistan to more than 50,000.
"The US currently has about 24,900 troops serving with the Nato-led mission, Isaf says.
"The US military also says it has about 17,000 US troops under sole US command charged with fighting Taleban and al-Qaeda insurgents."
Sad to say, bin Laden has the US exactly where he wants us. And he's doing it all very inexpensively.
Quagmire.
