Success in Iraq is the establishment of a government that does not violate the civil rights of its citizens or threaten the security of the United States or U.S. interests abroad.
If withdrawal would weaken the new democratic government (it would), then withdrawal jeopardizes success.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it.
