Somewhat inexact. Allied forces in all likelihood outnumber the insurgents several times over, while maintaining high kill ratios to casualties. But the war in Iraq is not won with military victories, just as the War in Vietnam was not won -- or lost for that matter -- on the field of battle. Where we are loosing is in the political/propoganda arena...we have not (convincingly) won the "hearts and minds" of the Iraqi people, and I don't think we ever had them to begin with. Where we are loosing the battle is on the TV screens, the cafes and the livingrooms of Iraq -- and the larger Muslim world.
