STAY

world against withdrawal
withdrawal emboldens insurgency
withdrawal creates terror haven
withdrawal invites iran's influence
withdrawal spreads unrest
withdrawal=more sunni/shiite clashes
iraq's police & military unprepared
withdrawal dishonors troops
LEAVE
civil war here
withdrawal gains world support
occupation emboldens insurgency
iraq now terror training ground
occupation invites iran's influence
occupation spreads unrest
occupation=more sunni/shiite clashes
unpreparedness not problem; disloyalty is problem
