Newsweek - "It's Worse Than You Think". Or, "I think the Iraqis are voting."

Voting with their AK-47s.

"As Americans debate Vietnam, the U.S. death toll tops 1,000 in Iraq. And the insurgents are still getting stronger."

Sugarcoat this. If you'll recall, the mission was accomplished, and every battle is a desperate last-ditch stand of Saddamist forces. Obvious question - if we've been winning all along, why does it look so bad?

Or is it really good? It just looks bad to people who want to embarrass the Rs?
