Once we withdraw, it only a matter of time before Iraq is either annexed by Iran or becomes its defacto proxy. That + we will do nothing to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. They will be the big winners here.

In Obama’s (the Lefties) world, the best thing that could happen to Iraq is a collapse. In their world where politics trumps everything else, they could then rewrite the history of the Bush administration as exemplified by the failed results in Iraq.
