I would state that the "Invasion" was a success in that the ruling faction was removed, and there were more than sufficient troops for that purpose. There seem to be major problems with the plan for Iraq after the removal of government. Perhaps the body count would be lower every day if we had decided to put a post invasion plan into place, instead of wingin' it.
I can only hope that what we are currently experiencing was not planned, as that would be worse than no plan at all.
