Panama and GW1 are pretty definitive victories. We accomplished the stated goals. Conservatives just weren’t happy with leaving Sadam in power after it became clear his regime wouldn’t fall after his defeat .
You could argue that GW2 was a quasi-victory. We of course never found the imaginary WMD’s Bush claimed was the reason for going in. But Sadam is no longer in power and Iraq is “freeish” and are self governing, but not an ally or trading partner like Japan and Germany. But the results just weren’t worth the blood spilled on both sides.
But yeah everything else is a shit show of poor planning and unobtainable goals.
