Another Thing I Don't Understand

Why leaving Iraq should be considered defeat in the War on Terror. If this indeed a global war -- and every indication says it is -- why is Iraq the prime front? Other than the fact that we've made it one, I mean. Why not pull out, let the Muslims have their internecine conflict, and concentrate our resources on monitoring, intelligence, finding Bin Laden (and other terrorists) and securing travel? Leaving Iraq is not a defeat -- it's redirecting resources.
