Missing the Larger Truth in the search for "Truth" About Iraq

Salon.com has a teaser for its article The "Truth" About Iraq" claiming that right wing talk show hosts "are headed to the war zone to report what they already know: U.S. Troops are winning...."
The problem here is that we're winning our way into a Vietnam-style exit; it's not that our troops can't defeat insurgents in open battle, it's that we can't (or won't, in many cases) protect them from the tactics used by the insurgents, whether with enough armor or enough people. But I suppose they have to bring a straw man to the Green Zone, or it wouldn't be right-wing radio.
