For sure. And the weeks after those. And the weeks after those.

I do not think that the war is winnable on our terms for the simple reason that the People of Iraq do not want peace. Instead, each faction insists upon its domination of the others. This is, after all, the Muslim way: The rule of the Strong Man. It is high time to pull out and leave them to kill each other, which is all that they seem to want to do. The presence of outside forces just acts to incite these xenophobes to more violence.
