I would agree that we need to have more success in iraq and right now that includes staying power in the face of guerrilla tactics. I agree. Now that we're in, we have to stay in. The people who want us out know this, of course, and they know that they don't have to "win", in the sense of achieving military victory. They just have to make the political cost of staying in higher than the political cost of pulling out. That isn't a terribly comfortable situation to be in, but we can hardly complain: we knew when we started that this was a likely outcome. The US may not be toothless, but the need to keep a large force in Iraq does substantially limit military options in both Iran and N. Korea.
