My answer is that it's a success, but then again they didn't want the U.S. to become a part of the war.  I don't know.  Help?

well, it was an act of provocation...it seems to me like they wanted the U.S. to be mad at them lol

Yes, they figured it was a success because they had bombed the US naval base. But then later they realized it was a bad idea because US dropped to bombs in japan after US got involved.
