The analysis DID NOT say that 'would' be the result of US withdrawal. The idea that the insurgents and terrorists in Iraq wouldn't perceive a US withdrawal as a victory is ludicrous. They are all going to settle their religious/ethnic/and financial blood feuds peacefully --- WITHOUT WAR or further ethnic cleansing --- and then, what? Sit around campfires singing 'Kumbaya' to each other while their oil royalty checks roll in? :-( Your argument is a particularly pathetic straw man. There is a big difference between being total love and peace and harmony, and just not focusing 100% of your effort on killing a particular enemy.
