Those bases do not have to be there. We have no right to invade some other country and set up huge permanent military bases. We have no moral obligation to stay and fix things up, any more than a thief who breaks into your house has a moral obligation to stay and fix the door. Our obligation is first and foremost to end our illegal occupation of their country.
Even if one accepts your 'we broke we have to stay and fix it' argument, which I do not, how many more years of making no progress fixing it are we going to have to endure before you will concede that our presence is preventing Iraq from fixing itself?
