EXCELLENT COLLECTION AND POST!
You are exactly right with your title. The media, instead of reporting our successes as headlines, is reporting in a way, to make it sounds, as if we were "losing the peace".
They are trying to get people at home fed up, to turn Iraq into another Vietnam, where people demand we pull the troops out.
It is shameful and treasonous how they put petty and vicious politics above our national security.

"They are trying to get people at home fed up"
From several articles I read yesterday, many of the soldiers over there are already fed up, with one even calling for Rummy's resignation.
It's easy for us (me included) to sit here and pontificate over war stats. Meanwhile, our boys are getting shot at for nothing. Saddam is gone...regime toppled...any American death over there now is a waste, IMO.
(although if you volunteered for military service, you shouldn't be complaining that you are having to serve! This doesn't make the deaths less of a waste, but what do soldiers expect?)
