Gates clarifies 'not winning' comments

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Concerned his earlier remark that the U.S. is not winning in Iraq would be misconstrued by troops on the ground, defense secretary nominee Robert Gates said he said was "concerned the troops in the field might have misunderstood what I said."

"I want to make clear that pertains to the situation in Iraq as a whole," Gates said. "Our military forces win the battles that they fight. Our soldiers have done an incredible job in Iraq, and I'm not aware of a single battle that they have lost.

"The situation is clearly much more complex than just the military action," Gates said.
