The War in Iraq...the insurgent suppression in Iraq...the police action in Iraq...whatever you want to call it, has become something else in the U.S. It has become a war of words, of presentation of what is going right or wrong. And neither side will ever convince the other, but here are the words of Rumsfeld who does a good job of presenting his viewpoint. Whether you agree with the accuracy of his statements might be another matter...

I can't believe Rumsfeld and company are still insisting that we're "winning." Yeah, right. This was a losing proposition from the get go. I can't believe it's taken more than 12,000 casualties (including injuries) for most of the American public to figure that out.
"Some have described the situation in Iraq as a tightening noose, noting that "time is not on our side"and that "morale is down." Others have described a "very dangerous" turn of events and are "extremely concerned."
Who are they that have expressed these concerns? In fact, these are the exact words of terrorists discussing Iraq -- Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his associates -- who are describing their own situation and must be watching with fear the progress that Iraq has made over the past three years."
Well, that's a pretty good start on a reason to insist we are "winning."
