How can a victory be achieved when the invaded country is thousands of miles away, has fundamental religious and cultural differences, sits atop a vital and volatile economic resource that sits buried beneath the largest region of continuous sectarian violence over the past 1,000 years?
There is no "victory" there. You cannot control that country unless you subjugate it through political and economic might, most of it at the end of a bayonet. That's not an option. You could destroy the country and control the rubble and remnants. That's not an option (or maybe it is; the hyena cabal is certainly pro-bombs.) Or you could somehow brainwash them to think like Us. That's not an option, either.
"Victory" under these conditions means We get out with as few more losses as possible. In gambler's parlance, to stop throwing good money after bad. And that starts by throwing out the bad leaders who sent good people to their unnecessary deaths.
