I will repeat what an IDF officer said when the deathtoll was 100 or so American troops. He said the US needs to stop worrying about how it will look on TV, when it comes to getting the terrorists or protecting its troops (like the usage of tanks, etc.).

A lot of this is choice of words. "Pitched battle". "Intense fighting not before seen." Casualty count? A handful. Think about this. Think of it from WW II perspectives. These would have been called minor skirmishes and the casualties called mercifully low.
Words don't change numbers. These casualty counts are not high. This victory is not being achieved at a "huge" cost. This is rather good prosecution of a way -- though I do remain puzzled by the lack of airpower use.
