Iraq and the Troops

Fox News: Reports based on a lead in the NYT that due to the success of the surge in Iraq and downward trend of attacks on the USA, the USA could remove troops from Iraq and move them to Afghanistan. I see a problem with this move, what if and its a big if, Israel attacks Iran, Iran will cause havoc in Iraq. Thus before any troops are removed the Bush Administration will have to be happy that Israel will not attack Iran. If Israel does not attack, and Iraq becomes peaceful then surge will be seen as a success, this will be bad for Obama, his weak policy on Iraq could come back to haunt him and McCain will be seen as a leader when others had weak backbones, e.g the Democratic Party. Iraq in way could decide the election in November.
