World demanding US pull out from Iraq

Top countries demanding US pull out immediately:
Mexico, Russia, Turkey, Indonesia, and Eygpt

Countries preferring a gradual pull out over a year:
US, UK, Australia, and South Korea

The statistics look interesting. Countries with troops actually prefers a gradual pull out, comparing to those without troops. One begins to wonder: Why do countries with troop prefers to spend more time and money in a foreign nation, rather than just get away and done with, preserving resources and lives?

Pulling out certainly means more resource commitment. But what are the benefits? I can't tell but I guess it may have to do with national dignity?
