How do you know for sure that pulling out of Iraq would make us less secure?
The world is a very complicated place and anything we do will lead to some benefits and some drawbacks.
If we were to take all of the money we are currently spending in Iraq and use it for border security, stepped up monitoring of ports, increased scrutiny of bank transfers and international phone/internet communications, increased scrutiny of potential sleeper cells in America and Europe, etc. then we might be more secure by pulling out of Iraq.
People of good faith disagree on this point and calling them loonies because they don't agree with you is completely useless and non-productive.
You said it, not me! Is this sentence of yours a joke, or do you suffer from short term memory loss of what you previously said?

Clearly, pulling out of Iraq has much more drawbacks than benefits. Everyone realizes that, except for the loony left and Ron Paul.

And let the terrorists regroup in the Middle east? Are you freakin' kidding me? Your plan would have worked well with Hitler. NOT!

We have historical precedent and the Paulites don't. Isolationism and a defensive defense policy has been proven not to work. Ron Paul ignores this history. Trying this again would be certifiable insanity (defined by trying the same strategy but expecting a different result). Therefore, logic dictates that Ron Paul is a certified insane loon.
