It will be a civil war now, and it will be up to the Iraqi people to succeed or stay in a state of turmoil.
Our military mission is complete and we should just provide backup military support/training/supplies and assist with infrastructure rebuilding going forward.

This is exactly why the mission is a big fuckup. The power has been taken away from the minority, the Sunnis, and given to the majority, the Shiites. Only problem is the Shiites are controlled by Iran. So by giving the power to the Shiites the US has made Iran more powerful than ever.
Last I checked Iran was a major enemy of the US. Not a smart move by the US.
