You can blame Bush all you want, but the choice now is to surrender to al Qaeda in Iraq or to stay until they are defeated. To help you think through the consequences for al Qaeda, I'll quote from two sources that those on the left generally regard as credible. First, if we choose to lose by withdrawing our troops now, the Iraq Study Group depicted the consequences this way:

Al Qaeda will portray any failure by the United States in Iraq as a significant victory that will be featured prominently as they recruit for their cause in the region and around the world.
...
Al Qaeda would depict our withdrawal as a historic victory.

That's what a propaganda boon to al Qaeda will look like, and I further predict that the next Pew poll would show al Qaeda's standing to be massively elevated throughout the Muslim world.
