We will have now a progressively harder and bloodier task in Iraq. The Persians and the Arabs and the Paks, all sorts of jihadis, sense victory now and the flow of fighters into Iraq will surge. We will appear to have been chased out by Allah's soldiers. No, we will have been chased out by Pelosi's soldiers but the effect will be precisely the same. We will not have our foothold in the ME when the big fight comes with Iran and we cannot avoid that fight by declining it; we can only relinquish advantage to the enemy.
