To me, that sounds like the insurgents are winning.
Did anyone in the US really expect to lose upwards of 1500 troops in Iraq? In Afghanistan the US has lost 153 troops. I'm betting that most people in America though that Iraq would be the same. Maybe even say double the numbers from Afghanistan. But 1400?
Americans are being blown up every day, and there's nothing anyone can do about it unless the US wants to pull out.
As for what the Iraqi people want...I think its pretty clear that they did not support the invasion of their own country in the beginning, nor do they support it now.
