US and Iraqi officials say Fallujah has become a haven for the country's tiny cohort of foreign fighters, and it's turning out local Iraqis committed to establishing an Islamic state. While the popularity of such views is limited, having established a beachhead with relative impunity has strengthened their movement.

And we helped create this beachhead when we withdrew the Marines.

The beachhead was already well established, which is why the Marines were sent in the first place.
