What I see clearly is that this "masterful strategy" has only strengthened Iran's hand in the region and yes, has increasingly made the US the common enemy among the more militant muslims in the region and the world.

Our military has a secondary role in policing Iraq. Policing Iraq is not and has never been our primary mission.
Our primary mission was to overthrow Sadaam, lay a foundation for democracy, take the fight to the Islamic extremists, and begin the process of creating stability in the region.
