I dont know how much you know about Iraq's own army and police force right now, but leaving and pumping money into them would just cause a fight between the two. They definitely hate each other like you wouldnt believe. The corruption present in the current day government and connected agencies in Iraq would prevent the country from becoming functional and independent were we to leave now.
Its widely accepted that we were wrong to ever invade the country (personal politics aside), but pulling out now would leave the region in a deeper quagmire than it's in now.
