The US will not leave Iraq until they set up a stable government. Regardless of the number of terrorist attacks. We're attacked every few days in Afghanistan, and I don't see anyone packing their bags there. They don't have to create a "situation worse than Iraq with Saddam", either. They have to get the US to leave either before a fully Iraqi government is installed, or while that subsequent Government is still weak enough to be undermined. The US will help set up police, intelligence, and military services like it has in Afghanistan. If you've followed the situation there like I have, you'll see they're performing extremely well given the short amount of time we've had to set things up. I expect the same from the Iraqis. Fwiw, they've already started helping by turning in the Iraqi leadership. How are we going to provide security, prevent attacks, and hunt down terrorists if the local police and security forces won't cooperate? Why should we expect them to cooperate?
