Iraq timelines

We’re told that if we set a timeline for withdrawl, the insurgents will inevitably exploit it, but I think that cuts both ways.
If we’re going to stay in there until the Iraqi military and police can handle the insurgency themselves, no matter how long it takes, won’t they exploit that? Why stand up for the government at the risk of being shot if our military is going to stay in indefinitely and do the fighting for them? Wouldn’t knowing that we won’t be in Iraq after say, 2011, put a little more pressure on them?
