I don't think OBL is going to change his mind/stated goals at this point. The objective of pulling out of Iraq now would be to:

- Recognize that the stated objectives of the war are not the same as tha actual objectives of the war, and that the actual objectives are being met and are not in the best interest of the majority of American;
- Reduce the probability that current activities are creating OBL version 2020.

Using the on-going problems created by past mistakes to justify/perpetuate current mistakes is not a good idea.
