Gates: U.S. not winning in Iraq
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush's nominee to be secretary of defense said Tuesday he does not believe the United States is winning in Iraq. Robert Gates answered a simple "no" when incoming Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin asked if the United States was winning the war.

Gates also said he is "open to new ideas" in policy and strategy for the Iraq War and that "all options" are on the table.
