When you fail to accomplish any of your stated operational goals and the ending lines are virtually identical to the starting lines then it is a failure. They tried to take territory and failed until the US came in and saved their bacon. Hmmm, so tell me exaclty how the Iraqi army fought militias without ever actualy entering Basra? Tell me how the battle lines are the same if Iraqi army units are in Basra as we speak?

Stated operational goal: Restore order to Basra/
Reality today: Iraqi Army patroling Basra, miilitias nowhere to be seen.

Reality

And btw, please tell me when American combat troops came to save the day. Spare us your predictable and obviously pathetic attempt to insist a squad of SF and a few officers consulting at the HQ negates the hard work of 10K+ Iraqi soldiers.

And btw Oerdin, if you intend to insist the postitions are the same (despite that be obviously false), that STILL isn't a route.
