Re: "The idea that the insurgents and terrorists in Iraq wouldn't perceive a US withdrawal as a victory is ludicrous."

SPECIFY, please!

Which set of fighters?????????????????


Every set that is strongly opposed to the US. Most esp. the Sunnis, but the radical Shia would perceive it as the US being weak as well.

You can't *possibly* think that this civil war is going to do ANYTHING but hot up once Uncle Sucker removes himself from the crossfire....

Sure it will "hot up", but that doesn't mean that the radicals won't think they have had a victory, or that they won't get stronger. The war "hotting up" could fairly directly lead to them becoming stronger.
