US 'not winning conflict in Iraq'

[faceless]

US Defence Secretary nominee Robert Gates has told a Senate committee that the US is not winning the war in Iraq. Mr Gates told a confirmation hearing he was open to new ideas on Iraq, but warned the situation there would shape the Middle East for years to come. The committee approved him to replace Donald Rumsfeld, who quit last month amid criticism of his Iraq policy.

Not only this but from what I read, the Taleban in Afghanistan and are just biding their time before the combined forces leave there too, then they'll be back in numbers, so they've pretty much lost that battle too.
