Don't forget the word "immediately". As in "EVERYBODY who wants the US to leave Iraq immediately WANTS to see the US fail." Don't forget that this is my opinion based on my perception of the current status of the war. I see the fledgling Iraq government collapsing if the US immediately pulls out. If we hold on, and go through a gradual withdrawl for another year or so, while the Iraqi security forces take full control, then I think they have the best chance of success. Because of this belief I believe those advocating for immediate withdrawl are looking to "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory".
