Just depends what you think a success actually means. In this case, from Oturd’s perspective it is successful. From the perspective of the free world and west it is not.

WH counts the terrorists winning as counter-terrorism.
After all, in the minds of liberals our stomping out the mad dog muzzies is “terrorism” while terrorists are “freedom fighters”.
