On one hand he doesn't want to look weak and have Fox News say this wasn't worth it. On the other, this blew up in his face and wants out. Only you can't declare bankruptcy and wipe your hands of the situation.

He got conned by Israel and war hawks in his admin who totally mis read the situation. Real question comes to this, what does he do after the Mid Terms? After that point, he could follow through with troops going in to get the uranium. But that is a gamble, they could go in, take heavy casualties and find out it's no longer where they thought it was. It could be legacy killing worse than it is now.
