Ok so you can’t win a war if it wasn’t clean and easy? And since when has the publicly stated justification for a war ever had anything to do with who won? Lots of wars start with false justifications.

Do you think Saddam’s government won? The US won the war with Iraq if not the war with the insurgency.
Tell that to Saddam and Gaddafi.
lol the downvote. Did those governments that no longer exist actually win the wars that caused them to cease existing?
*this doesn’t mean they were good or justified. If anyone thinks I implied or said that you need to learn how to read.
20 years? The US ousted the ba’athist government in less than a month and installed a sympathetic regime in less than two years. Even a pyrrhic victory is still a victory. The US got what it wanted geopolitically and the government they waged war against was ousted.
It was costly, unjustified, evil, and probably not even worth it from the cold math of empire but it was still a military victory.
