I believe it will cost more lives as our soldiers will be hounded all the way to the tarmac during the retreat as the Jihadists claim victory over U.S. forces. Then the jihadists will then come to our soil (no need to as they're already here) to continue the war with the justification that we killed some distant relative, friend, or fellow moslem whom the Jihadist is unrelated to. The Jihadists will also massacre every Iraqi civilian even suspected of collaborating with U.S. forces.
And you believe that the Jihadists will abandon the war, saving lives in the short term as they'll be too busy slaughteering Iraqi civilians, and leave the U.S. alone after we retreat as they'll be too busy trying to institute a Sharia run state once the Iraqi gov't collapses.
And our troops will come home feeling betrayed, bitter, and at a loss for words for their government and even less for their nation pushing defeatist agendas through congress and shoving it down voters' throats. After that, who would want to serve and be abandonded by congress and savagely attacked by the media?
