Show me a post where that is acknowledged.

If you're looking for a post where someone acknowledges in so many words that the "invasion" was a failure, you won't find one. But that's because no one else is using your definition. If, OTOH, you're looking for a post that acknowledges that we sowed the seeds for failure of the occupation prior to and during the invasion, I'm sure I alluded to it in one post. I don't think that anyone else did. But I don't know why anyone would since that question wasn't directly raised.

While it may not have been explicitly acknowledged, I'm sure you won't find anything that contradicts it. If you weren't so focused on imposing your meaning of the word, "invasion," you would easily have seen that no one was arguing that. I'm not going to do your research for you. If you want to take the position that anyone disagrees with failure seed-sowing during the planning and occupation phases, you find the post. I'm confident that you won't be able to. Or maybe you could just ask the question directly leaving out the semantically problematic word and see what folks say. I hereby formally acknowledge that the seeds of failure derived from the planning. They didn't just spring up out of nowhere after the invasion.
