"Turning Victory into defeat" ?

Carry on up the Tigris?
A fail in the desert?

I'll try to think of something serious.

Mesopotamian Misadventures.?

"A Port too Far"
Right Men, Wrong Kit

Well, Zola already has dibs on "Debacle", but in light of so much of the detail you've gone into I suggest the following two:

for the serious how about "Perfidy. Albion's comeuppeance."

and for the snarky try "Toadies in a hole. How the UK's General Staff defeated their own army."

"Snatch Defeat" [a pun of dubious taste]

On similar lines to Christina:

Defeat, 'Snatched' from the jaws of victory!

Rory Bremner has already done it for you… "Between Iraq and a Hard Place"…

Weapons of Crass Reduction.

"Defeat In Iraq"

subtitle:
"How the British Army lost the battle for Basra"

What think you "March from Glory" ?

Defeat in Iraq, and several variations, has already been done!

Kut Redux?

GRU

Buggered in Basra

Basra bail-out

Mined and Undermined

Crippled by the MoD

A General Defeat

The Great Betrayal. (As in "The Great Deception")

Down and Rout in Iraq

Kitted Out for the Rout

Left for Dead

An Army Betrayed

KILL BLIAR, BROWN... KILL ALL THEM TRAITOROUS SONS OF BITCHES
