Schadenfreude and an Afstan map

Two from Bruce R. at Flit:

1) The schad decline of Michael Scheuer

2) Today's essential Afghan slide

From Michael Yon, a snap of a Gen. Petraeus briefing slide from a speech in Holland [other good maps and charts at link]:

Also worth reading today: Anthony Lloyd with British forces in Helmand.

To this eye the map seems dire in relatively few, but important, places. Where the newest US ground forces, Marines and Army have been sent, and where a further surge might be most necessary.
