If the US pulls out of Iraq, Iran and Turkey are likely to invade after the Civil War. If not them Syria... really there are any number of countries just waiting for the US to get out of Iraq... so they can get in. |
Turkey gets kicked out of NATO and loses US aid, so it's unlikely for them to invade, no matter how much they'll want to.
If Syria or Iran do invade, that's a legitimate casus belli. And unlike occupation, the US military does force projection very, very well. You don't have to put troops on the ground to wallop the hell out of somebody else.
