Decisions about when troops leave Iraq should NEVER be made by Congress. This type of strategic decision should be made only by the generals who are most familiar with the strategic consequences of any particular plan of action. Removing troops because "the people want us to" or because of any sort of political expedience is wrong. Period.
Politicians should stick to politics: let the generals win this war for us.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
