and that there is no justification to continue the occupation of what remains of that country

I ignored the first half of that. The "fact" about WMD's existing in Iraq was believed by almost every member nation of the UN, including even the most liberal Americans. So looking back in hindsight now about how
clear it was wrong doesnt work.
But the second half? Continuing the "occupation" is to prevent further deaths through an all out civil war. Right now if you look at the numbers of insurgents vs. the number of total Iraqis, its less than 5%. If we leave that would easily climb to 50% of the people in an active civil war (think of Lebanon, but with 25 million people instead). So the justification is we HAVE to stay, no matter how much you believe you're "supporting" our troops.
