[quote:e7170]

theres no way to prove how many of the insurgents have died , but im certain that alot more than america has lost,[/quote:e7170]

So if the US has killed more insurgents than troops they have lost, the US wins? This is not counter strike folks.

[quote:e7170]Yep America is losing alright. I mean how can AMerican win a war? So big deal if our Military could own the rest, we couldn't beat some sand packing camel riding, morons. That is just impossible. We went against the will of most of the world, which usually means you are doing something right, and are now winning and people can't stand that.[/quote:e7170]


We're not talking about the war. The war is over. The war ended when George Bush landed on an aircraft carrier and declared that "major combat operations in iraq are over". I didn't say anything about the US not being able to take out anyone they wanted. To say the US military isn't strong is stupid. I acknowledge the US has the most power military in the world.

It is easy for a country to go in, and fight a military in uniform, destroy bunkers, and capture leaders. It is impossible to corral and police an entire nation of 22 million people with 150,000 troops.

Please explain how "going against the will of the world" means the US is correct in their actions.

Also, please explain what exactly it is you're "winning".

Also, here's an article for your enjoyment:
