Staying/increasing forces will risk a never ending blood shed.
Quite a predicament.
These are just my ignorant thoughts of course.

You are right. As the Senate stated in their resolution to go to war....there were/are very many reasons to go to Iraq...and even more to finish what we started. It is too bad that so many seek to use the difficulty of war for political opportunism...and too bad the rest of the world do not have the nerve to defend their way of life. The lesson is not lost on the fundamentalist Muslims who will view our failure as vindication of their evil methods.
