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.

While every single loss (death AND injury) is tragic, it is importance to look at these numbers in context.
3,100 over nearly 4 years is a remarkably
low number, yet the AP, Reuters and the AFP trumpet it as if it represents some bloody rout.
In 2003 alone, over 35,000 people died from the friggin'
heat
