Alright. Let's assume that we 'cut and run' and that we don't need to spend hundreds of billions more half a world away from our borders and no one needs to die there no more. We're gone and the anti-Americans take over the country - which they will when we leave whether we cut and run or we stay there for 2 more years or until the job gets done.

So, our boys are home and 'they' (the baddies) control Iraq. And? Exactly how are 'they' going to be able to harm 'us'? Are they going to send an expeditionary force to occupy and liberate us? Are they going to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles with nukes on them, like the North Koreans do these days? Will they send a few stealth bombers and carpet-bomb Brooklyn? Are they planning to blockade us so we can't get food and supplies and we starve?

Let's try to figure out how these bad people are going to harm us from their base in Iraq.
