A Point of Departure
It's a victory in the most bare sense. A close-run battle that was a modest military success. It's a real political success if, in the course of fighting this battle, Iraq's political leaders have been forced face-to-face with the reality of Iranian meddling.
Part of a training cycle is evaluation of training and leaders and re-train to better standards w/ better leaders. That means replacing bad leaders exposed in battle.
Some of this is also occurring.
Funny enough, most western politicians seem to be looking for a "mission accomplished" of their own in which to step off the bus.
