Let's just say, however, that we do not follow the Korea model and we leave Iraq. If we then get hit with a terrorist attack here or somewhere abroad by terrorists trained in a post-occupation Iraq, who is to blame? My guess is the left will blame it all on Bush for going to Iraq in the first place and the right will blame it all on the dems for pushing for a withdrawal. Thoughts?

I think if either side is smart they'll stay away from this gamesmanship of who's fault the war is. Both the left and the right played a hand in sending the troops to Iraq, so neither side has anything to gain politically or otherwise. If you look at Bush's ratings they are very low and so are the Dems since they've taken over.
However, I could see, no offense to anyone here, Hillary protesting loudly about how the Right screwed things up and this is "Bush's" war. Only because she's been the most vocal and critical about Bush during the debates, but that's just to gain political points in my view.
I'm not too familiar with the Korean model, so I can't really speak to that. But this is a new animal all together.
