The press is doing everything it can to sanitize this war. They never show the cost of the war. The pictures are all generic trucks going by and the occasional crater in the street. The war in Iraq is just going so badly that they can't put enough lipstick on the pig. TP

TP, Junior is losing the war. The reporters aren't losing the war. That all depends on what your definition of "losing the war" is. Manipulate the definition, and you control the conditions of defeat. The "war" part ended with the collapse of Saddam's regime, and the basic insurance that the Baathists will not resume power. That part was a resounding victory. The rebuilding a new country from what is left is not a war in any normal sense. And the coalition can't lose in that part, the Iraqis themselves will be the winners or losers, depending on whether they can produce a normal civilized society or descend into anarchy. The coalition can just leave.
