As President Obama met Wednesday with top advisors working on a new strategy for Afghanistan, the war is passing a milestone. It's 8 years old and the nation where the 9/11 attacks were launched is still largely in anti American hands. In eastern Afghanistan Wednesday, Taliban forces claim they've raised their flag. The Taliban not only killed 8 U.S. soldiers in last weekend's fire fight, they drove coalition forces out of their region, for now. It's a symbol of the setbacks the U.S. has suffered in the past 8 years.
