Your strategy is one for a propaganda victory. After the military costs of the war skyrocket you can claim it is too costly. After the overwhelming military presence is US, the resentment caused by the "invasion" force's presence will drive average Iraqis to make common cause with the terrorists to evict the "invader" you can claim that we are hated.

The thought of satisfying appeasers and allowing those lives that have been given for the cause of freedom to mean nothing is abhorrent. If people continue to appease terrorists they will grow in strength, become a larger threat and become more effective at delivering their terror to our shores.
