We won nothing. We're tucking our tails between our legs and going home..finally.
Iraq doesn't have WMD's, the country is somewhat stable and able to defend its own borders, and while its not perfect (and never will be), its not a anarchy state.
We won, we're going home, objectives complete. Well, we aren't going home, just to Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON — The State Department is quietly forming a small army to protect diplomatic personnel in Iraq after U.S. military forces leave the country at the end of 2011, taking their firepower with them.
Department officials are asking the Pentagon to provide heavy military gear, including Black Hawk helicopters, and say they will also need substantial support from private contractors.
