A wash is when the good and the bad even out so, on average, the results are neutral. My opinion is that this is about the best we can hope for now. The downside, while not infinite, is tremendous. The time we have to work with is growing increasingly short. I don't think our military presense will be acceptable to the people of Iraq for very long after the Jan. elections. And, I think there is virtually no chance at stability without our presence being extended for a good bit.
