Disarm Iraq - Success

Iraqi Civil War - Success

Sunni Insurgency - Success

AQ in Iraq - Success

Iranian Proxy War - Too Early

just talking about the Brit area...  not Iraq in particular....

the Brits are being attacked more than they were at the start and early periods, and by the people they liberated....  

most of Basra area problems are Shia versus Shia (most Sunni objections already dealt with). 

Sunni activity was minor in this area anyway( not enough of them and outsiders coming in to cause trouble stood out too much and Shias's generally delt with them....).

AlQ Sunni almost non existant in the area (as above)....  

Iranian backed action very much on the increase with better munitions being filtered to the various Shia militias, hence increase damage to British from IEDs

 

but even so.... the Brits have handed over control and so could declare that they achieved their stated goal from the beginning.

The UK?, You're fighting under even more handicapping rules in the UK...difficult to determine who will come out on top. Brits, or Brits with dual citizenship in countries of a religion that we refuse to say...

 

 

 

eventual success...no doubt.
