Why is it said that the United States failed in the Iraq War?

1. What are the political and strategic purposes of the United States’ attack on Iraq?

The United States wants to control the Middle East. I believe everyone has no objection to this. The most important plan to control the Middle East is the Greater Middle East Plan. The war in Iraq is only part of the Greater Middle East plan, and it is also the critical beginning. I believe that the United States' Greater Middle East Plan, which proposes the ultimate goal of controlling the Middle East, relies not mainly on force, but on promoting democracy and freedom in the Middle East and making the Middle East willing to be controlled by the United States. Therefore, the Iraq War is the beginning of the Greater Middle East Plan's use of force as a big stick. If the Iraq War causes the United States to lose popular support, goodwill, and trust in the Middle East, any future actions of the United States will inevitably encounter strong resistance, explicit or covert, from people in various countries in the Middle East. It can be concluded from this that the US war in Iraq has two strategic and political goals: the first is to overthrow Saddam's regime. This has been achieved. The second is the reconstruction of Iraq. Let Iraq become a template for the United States to transform the Middle East. If Iraq is successfully rebuilt and its people live happily and feel the happiness of so-called Western democracy and freedom, then the United States can "conquer the enemy without fighting" in the Middle East. As long as the front of the army points, It can dismantle the regime of any country in the Middle East. This was the original intention of American think tanks in formulating the Iraq War. Looking at the development of the situation in Iraq over the past three years, can you tell me, has the United States achieved its strategic goals? Can a war be called a victorious war if it fails to achieve its strategic and political goals? The same goes for the Vietnam War. The United States did not fail in battles and military affairs, but it failed politically and strategically before it voluntarily withdrew its troops. [Reposted from Jagged Community / ]

2. The political and strategic goals of the United States in Iraq have failed!

The United States initially invaded Iraq under the slogan of "liberating Iraq and eradicating the tyrant Saddam Hussein's regime", and used the effects of psychological warfare to make some Iraqi people have certain illusions about the United States and believe that the United States is really can bring happiness, freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people. Over the past three years, the United States has tortured prisoners, massacred and violently. Not only has the United States failed to give the Iraqi people a happy life, but it has also created disasters on its own. This is obvious to everyone. This morning, Phoenix Channel was still reporting that American soldiers massacred villagers in a village in revenge for the killing of their comrades. I believe that this kind of thing is normal on the battlefield, whether it is a deep relationship between comrades-in-arms or a deep relationship with the Iraqi people.

The US strategy in Iraq is a failure, and the reconstruction of Iraq is helpless and failed. The United States wants to form an alliance with the Kurds and use the contradiction between Sunnis and Shiites to win over Shiites and attack Sunnis. Can this achieve the goal of stabilizing Iraq? This is completely the use and control of power. In the end, no one will listen to the United States.

The real failure of the United States in Iraq is not military. Some friends have said it well. In such a big war, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, which is not too much. The consumption of hundreds of billions of dollars is not too much (the United States in The looted cultural relics, jewelry, and frozen property in Iraq are estimated to offset most of the military expenditure). The real failure is the political failure of the United States in its actions in Iraq, especially the policy mistakes in protecting the prisoners. , all caused the United States to lose the hearts and minds of the people in Iraq, the people and regimes of various countries in the Middle East, and even the hearts and minds of the entire world towards the United States.

The most terrible thing is the loss of people's hearts and minds. After losing the initial trust, no matter how fragrant the carrots of the United States are in the future, others will doubt the motives and purposes of the United States. The United States is destined to fail in the Middle East.

3. The U.S.-Iran war is definitely a failure. [Reposted from Jagged Community/]

Everything is difficult at the beginning. I wrote "Iraq, Another Vietnam War-style Nightmare for the United States" two years ago. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to it at the time. Fortunately, it did not get the attention of American think tanks. . The United States lost popular support during the Iraq War, and its plan for a greater Middle East will inevitably fail in the future. In the Iran war, the United States will encounter strong resistance from the Iranian people, and the entire Middle East will be in chaos. This is my judgment, whether it is correct or not will be proved by the facts.
