Yes, once the war is over, the question can only be just how soon to get out.

In Sun Tzu's "Art of War", at the very beginning, one advise is to try to win the war with the other side's nation & army intact. That way your own nation (& army) will also be intact.

because the fighting is pretty much over?

I hope that is the case, although I doubt it.

Umm Qasr, a town of 4,000 inhabitants resisted US/UK forces for 5 days. Baghdad is a city of 5 mn people. Frankly, I am afraid of what might turn into a protracted humanitarian disaster as the same scenario of fighting for each street takes place in Baghdad.
