al-qaeda and their allies

building? how much have we built? Iraq isn't even making any profits off its own oil.

Do they own the oil ?

The US has built 14 new hospitals and over 800 new schools. Although most doctors have fled since it is too unsafe to be there as over 2000 of them have been targeted and killed.

The oil revenue that was supposed to pay for the war is not since we are still way below pre-war production numbers.

they're rebelling?

seems to me like they're fighting each other in a civil war. not quite a rebellion, and not an insurgency.

al-qaeda and their allies

funny, they weren't there before

oh, and their numbers are (by the Pentagon's estimates) very small.

Ok, so what I hear is:
"We screwed up Iraq so bad, we have the moral obligation to stay there until it is back on it's feet?"

If that's what is being said, then I somewhat agree. This crap about sticking to the mission is where you fall down though, the mission has changed 50 times since we invaded.
