I have yet to see any international news organisation claim that the US is losing the war. Most however, pointed out the defects in the plan, borne out by the need to call upon massive reinforements. Certainly the original battle plan was an appalling failure, as it relied on the mistaken belief that everyone in Iraq would greet the UK/US by throwing rose petals for them to walk on. But battle plans evolve and when your forces are vastly superior to the enemy, you can afford a few mistakes - even a couple of catastrophic ones.
The oonly question being asked by the international is the price that the US/UK will pay for victory - and the effect of their victory on the people of Iraq, the Middle East and the world in general. Here, they are pessimistic.
