Saddam's already gone. Those fighting us aren't going to bring him back, and have no expectation or desire to do so. He's a non-factor, for two years now. Our not leaving makes the insurgents case that "Saddam removal" isn't what it was all about.

But leaving today (when elections are in two months) is not the best approach.

Occupying Iraq is very much like being stuck holding a bucket of manure to the ceiling with a broom handle. If you let go there's going to be a mess so you are tempted to just hang on and try to persuade someone else to take the broom. Still, you can't hold it there forever and no matter when you let go, there is going to be a mess. Might as well just deal with it.
