Well Guest Chief Chaos, that is a question that has been asked on this forum before, and none of the "Get them out NOW", or at least "as quick as Christ will let you", crowd will come out with any answers.

"Do we just drop everything and run and leave weapons and supplies behind for the insurgents and other bad guys to inherit?"

Interesting question that, I have one for you relating to it. What would they use all these US weapons and supplies for, they didn't need them to defeat you, so what would they use them for? Their Soviet designed armoury proved to be perfectly adequate.

"I can think of several radical countries who would just love to come in and sweep up the pieces. And think of all the misery left behind that will just generate the next wave of radical Islam for the world to deal with." - Chief Chaos

So could I CC, plus some others and the ripple effect would be amazing to witness in its extent, not least in the USA. Oh and if you think the price of a barrel of oil is high now, just wait.

"Okay let's pull them all out now. .....Nice idea Fantasma, it just isn't a real world solution."

The not being a real world solution - I couldn't agree more.
