Nope. Math.

Take the number of insurgents from the start of the war as stated by our military (when they called them 'dead enders'). Subtract the number of insurgents we've claimed to have captured and killed (you don't even have to include those women and children that were attending weddings at the time, or driving home with families at night, or in a suspected insurgent house that we blew the crap out of). Guess what? You get a negative number. As in Vietnam, we've killed and captured more than the original enemy force! What a marvel.

Simple math. The number of insurgents have grown greatly since the start of the war. Bush is adding to their ranks every time he screws up the war (which is often) and fails (which is VERY often).
