If your definition of "under control" is camps that we can spot and bomb from the air, then you would be right. When we began to bomb, the camps were no longer the way for al Qaeda to train and organize. Nor are there any camps in Iraq, but we get attacked and killed day after day in a guerilla war that we ourselves started -- with no end in site. We don't control any of the countries in the region even though we have over one-hundred thousand troops in Iraq -- and we likely never will control any country in the region where al Qaeda have flourished. Pakistan will be lucky to avoid an Islamic revolution -- ditto for Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The only part of Afghanistan that is "under control" is Kabul, and even there the control is questionable.
