The thing that you are focusing on is the insurgency. But our goal wasn't to go to Iraq to crush an insurgency. It was to go to Iraq to depose Saddam so that he couldn't pass WMD to terrorists and so that we could force the Middle East to take the first lurching steps towards Democracy. Well, there were WMD labs and a few old WMD gas bombs, but no major stockpiles. Yet the WMD inspector concluded that Saddam had the labs and facilities in place and fully intended to reconstitute his WMD programs when the watchful eyes of the world were off of him. So by taking him out, we achieved that goal. Then with the latest elections we are well on our way to achieving a Democratic Iraq. So if success means we are achieving the goals we set out to achieve, then we are successful. Your problem is that you think that our goal is to kill all insurgents and that is not our goal.
