I suppose the argument is that in the absence of foreign (COW) troops the Iraqis would turn on the foreign jihadists, have a relatively brief (what does that mean?) civil war and sort things out.
That's a problem with invading countries. You can't always declare victory and leave at a time of your choosing.
