It's weird -- Americans have this notion that superpower status, tanks, flak jackets, jets, APCs, and a vast range of other very expensive military technology is supposed to accomplish something.

Right, but Slave's basic point is correct. Or at least what I take to be his basic point is correct - the level of U.S. casualities in Iraq do not suggest that it is a place where our military might is overwhelmed.
On the other hand, the level of non-U.S. casualities might.
