Kinda yeah. There was no real plan there. Having the US military prop up a government and then leave isn’t going to work. That’s why Afghanistan was a failure.

Arguably Iraq did work though. The government the US installed persists to this day.

Now if we measure it by the metric of “fighting terror” then yes failure all around. If the goal was to remove Sadam and create a US friendly government well that did happen.

Different conversation is should we have ever gone there in the first place and the answer is no
