Do you realize how our invading Iraq looks to the rest of the world? Its the same political games all countries play, they weight the pros and cons and decide whats in their best interest.
Why does Iran want troops pulled out? Because there is a long and bitter history between Iran and Iraq (please refer to the Iran - Iraq war if you are not too familiar with it), with no US troops they can control the area better.
Also please check your PMs.

Yes I do. I'm not a fan of the "war" in Iraq, and a search of my posts in this forum might show that.
I'm not sure why Iran should be "control"ing Iraq... since that's where they want our troops pulled out of? If they want to be all territorial about their water, they should probably take a look at the land borders and realize they shouldn't be trying to control a whole other country. And FWIW, I don't like that we have US troops there either, but we can't just suddenly bring all the troops back and just leave a big mess there. Then other countries would really think we're the Big Bad Westerners because we went in, made a mess, and didn't even stay around to help fix it.
