Loosing the War?? Not hardly. The public relations war? I have to agree. Seems you have fallen for the alphabet soups news blitz, we all need to get a grip and stay focused, eye's on the prize......
No, I'm not falling for anything. History has seen this level of committment before (Viet Cong, Mujahadeen, Colonialists, etc.) and you'll notice that in the long run, they always drive out the occupying force. (Not because the occupying force lacked superior firepower, but because the will of the nation wasn't there).
