Yeah, that worked real well in Vietnam.
We went in under false pretenses but now we're in, I think most people would agree that it would be a huge mistake and a blow to our credibility if we just pulled out. We've set the stage for a full scale civil war and it would be irresponsible if we just suddenlty abandoned whatever friends and allies we have over there.
