You think making it winnable would be the only consequence of taking out Sadr?
I think a consideration of unintended consequences would be in order.
The key to the question of "what happens if we take out Sadr?" is how Sistani would react.

There are an infinite number of possible unintended consequences to anything we do.
Whereas the condition called "winning" is finite and measurable.
