re: nuance all you want Nuance? Hell anything that isn't your gross generalization is "nuance"? re: I'm just telling you that there are many, many skirmishes between the insurgents and our troops What's "many, many" and how do you know? re: If even 25% went poorly for our troops, we'd be seeing casualty reports much higher than what we are seeing today. I see you are moderating your position, before you said: but never the fact that 95%* of all hostile encounters goes badly for the terrorists* Sounds like you just making stuff up. And are you just talking terrorists, or are insurgents, militias, police, the Iraqi Army (remember they recently shot some of their American trainers), and the religious retribution folks included? How 'bout the plain old kidnapping criminals? Yes, Iraq is full of good news.

JF, nuance all you want, I'm just telling you that there are many, many skirmishes between the insurgents and our troops. If even 25% went poorly for our troops, we'd be seeing casualty reports much higher than what we are seeing today. It could be that proportionality escapes.....in that case, this might help you: "War's Iraqi Death Toll Tops 50,000 Higher than the U.S. estimate, the tally likely is undercounted. Proportionately, it is as if 570,000 Americans were slain in three years."
