The Brits are withdrawing because we can't match the $300 billion 'invested' in Iraq by the US thus far. Thirty years experience stomping on people's faces in Northern Ireland also has shown us how overstaying one's welcome can exacerbate the political and social problems in a divided country.
If I was a US tax payer, I would be pretty pissed off by now and wondering why the fuck nothing is being done.
