Al Qaeda Uprising in Iraq a precursor for Afghanistan

Al Qaeda backed forces in Iraq are making big gains and have taken over the second largest city in the country. 

Just over two years ago Obama hailed the withdraw of all Military forces from Iraq just as we are planning to do in Afghanistan.  Now we are seeing a resurgence of Al Qaeda backed forces.

Is this a precursor of what is going to happen in Afghanistan?  We just released 5 of the top Taliban terrorist and are planning on withdrawing our forces.  Are we going to see the same resurgence?

This makes everything that we gained in the wars null and void.  It also makes the sacrifices made on the battlefield and at home for nothing.  Is this making us safer today than we were?
