Do you think we're pulling out of Iraq too early?

I never was a big fan of the war in Iraq. We've spent over $2 trillion there, and wasted nearly 5,000 US lives,and over 60,000 Iraqi lives fighting one war after abandoning Afghanistan for years. We did meet the Bush objectives, though. Overthrow the Saddam regime, and set up some form of a puppet Republic to cater to Western Powers for comercialism and oil. However...terrorism is like cok roaches. They spread out under pressure, and come back when you leave. Now that we're pulling out, Al Qaeda is coming back, and sectarian violence threatens to over throw a weak young government. Do you think we're rushing the exit too much, or should we just continue to leave ASAP?
