Fair enough - however, I see that even the minimum requirements we told them they must meet (
or we'd leave) haven't been met. Tell me again why we're
still there?

I fully expect you to withdraw your criticism and say that you were wrong.

I'm afraid you'll be waiting a long time for that, because, you see, success in Iraq is an extremely difficult and complicated thing which can better be measured 50 years from now instead of right now.
And following that, using your logic (50 years before we know what the hell is going on today), we won't know if Mr. Bush's happy little war in Iraq has been a success for five decades, so it's decidedly odd that you're trying to say our attack and invasion of Iraq has been a "success" at this early stage in your timeline.
BTW, were you going to address any of these issues?
- If the surge is working, why are there MORE troops there now, after the surge, than before?
- Where do we get the authority to insist that another country adopt OUR form of government?
- They have asked us to leave. Several times.
