The Enduring Logic of Withdrawal

The U.S. military continues to sink deeper into the quicksand of Iraq, not only with a lengthening death toll but with damage to its reputation from alleged atrocities like the rape-murder of a 14-year-old girl and the slaying of her family in Mahmudiya. The logic of withdrawal holds that an American pullout can protect the U.S. military from further damage and stand as good a chance as any to limit the spread of Iraqi violence -- and encourage the Iraqis to send al-Qaeda and other foreign jihadists packing.
