Yes we have tragically lost 2,500 men and women, we have suffered the indignations of a small group of soldiers mis treating prisoners and possibly civilians, but overall how can some of these people call for retreat and claim we are losing? We have built more schools, more clinics and more mosques then ever, we have restored the power, water, and waste treatment systems in 90% of the country. We have secured more then 75% of the country. We have trained more then 80,000 secruity personnel to take over their own country and have like 45,000 more in training (need is 200,000 I understand). We have helped them hold two elections that had phenomenal turn out even under the fear of violence. How can you say we are losing?
PS. Not too mention its all be done in a time frame faster then anything like it ever.
