My point is that good ends don't mean that things were implemented well. Using a diplomatic meeting as a pretext cost America a huge amount of credibility abroad, and the assassination of a high-ranking government official could well have led to an escalation that dragged America into another quagmire. We were tremendously lucky that Iran didn't escalate the situation. And the justification for the strike has been continuously changing and hasn't held up well under scrutiny, meaning that the operation as a whole is of questionable legality. Though the legality is hard to judge because Trump didn't feel the need to provide much information about it to Congress--though he did divulge more details in a private speech to donors. Add in his unpresidential behavior on Twitter, and the straight-up lies he told about the service members who suffered injuries as the result of his actions (injuries he callously dismissed as unimportant), and I don't understand how you could consider this a "win".
