Want proof? Take this article from the way-back machine:

'THE US military said today it had defeated the outlawed militia of flamboyant Shi'ite cleric Moqtada Sadr across central Iraq, and denied that there was any truce with the radical preacher.

'"The Moqtada militia is militarily defeated. We have killed scores of them over the last few weeks, and that is in Najaf alone," Brigadier General Mark Hertling, one of the top US commanders in charge of Najaf, told AFP.

'"Over the past several days, Moqtada's militia has lost much of their stomach for fighting," he said, also declaring victory in the central cities of Kut, Diwaniyah and Karbala, dogged by fighting over the past two months.

'"We have also destroyed their weapons stores and their offensive capability," he said.'

Obviously you wild-eyed lefties will have to come up with some other information--the facts themselves are biased. :crazy:

2. Not Vietnam?
Sure sounds the same. Someone, back in the '70s, added up all the "body counts" touted by our military and discovered that we couldn't possibly lose because we had killed more VC/NVA than there were.

4. It's not Vietnam, but it has some similarities
The propaganda that the Pentagon spews being one of those.
