"Failed"? To early to call it yet.
And the US failed quite spectacularly in Afghanistan, and Vietnam...nearly so in Iraq. Superpower status still intact.
Can we call it failed now?
Are people still shooting at each other?
Call if failed if they either 1) retreat completely like the French/US in Vietnam or a partial failure if there is some territory gained/protected, like N/S Korea.
Do you believ that after 2+ years, the invasion has been a success?
No, but neither was it a failure. You're creating a false choice, while the war is ongoing at that.
