The media keeps harping on this point, over and over again. Frankly, it's starting to annoy me.
5,000 Allied servicemen died in the first 12 hours of the Normany invasion. At that point they held less than a square mile of French soil.
In seven days of the Iraqi war, we've had less than a hundred casualties - and we control better than half of the country.
By any logical standard it's a massive success.
