Politics, in the large sense, is also the only relevant actor in a conflict: the military victory at Ramadi (either one) was rather inconsequential for the larger goal of bringing peace.

True. I guess the point was we can win wars and battles, our combat machine is unparalleled. Political will and decisions decide if we win or not.
