The Iraqis want us out of their country (at least some do), and we want our troops home.
Instead of stating "we will be out of Iraq in ____ months" why are we not stating, "...our presence will be available for you until these [very specific and finite] goals for your country have been met by your people"?
For instance: "...the Iraqi government, in partnership with the USA, declare that the following sovereign goals will be met by our [Iraqi] people prior to the departure of U.S troops..."
This would allow them the responsibility to act on their own behalf and meet goals that they establish for themselves.
Without a clearly defined picture of what a 'win' looks like, I highly doubt we can create it, and I can't imagine we will recognize it if we see it. What defines success? And can we reach the benchmarks that we don't know about in "time"?
Perhaps this is already being done and I don't know about it?
