By staying in any longer we're only going to make things worse.
If they need military support going forward they should go to the United Nations.
This is where the US blows it. Staying in to long.
The job was done, now its time to leave and let the world provide security resources if they are asked for.

yes. this same policy worked quite well in Chechnya.
oh wait... no it didn't. warlords and terorrists took control of the country and continued with business as usual in narcotics trafficking, weapons trafficking, training terrorists, kidnapping/killing innocent people, pioneered ransoming people as being a big part of thier GDP, invading/attacking neighbors, harboring terrists...etc etc etc etc etc etc.
if there is no security in Iraq... Iraq will be 10 times the problem it is now in a few years when the radicals have complete control of the country as well as complete control over an endless supply of cash/funds.
