The Proxy War Against Iran and al Qaeda in Iraq

The war in Iraq is really a proxy war on one front, and a direct war on another. We are directly engaging al Qaeda in Iraq on a daily basis. But more and more it is becoming evident that we are also engaged in a war with Iran's proxies.

We are, therefore, stuck between a rock and a hard place. If we leave precipitously, both Iran and al Qaeda are the clear victors.
