Did you read the article?
From the article:
[The withdrawal would only take place if the Iraqi security forces became strong enough to ensure that an American departure would not create a security vacuum or make the sectarian conflict worse, the petition’s sponsors said.]
This differs from the absurdity of some dems and people like Ron Paul in the sense that it takes conditions on the ground into account. How does this differ from Bush’s policy?

Who decides when this will be???
Why, the Shia Muslim dominated Iraqi government of course. Iraq has made Islamic Shria law the central tenet of their constitutional law. Think about for a moment. Was it really in our best interests to replace a brutal secular dictator with an equally brutal form of Islamic law? A government actually linked to the Iranian government. What a mess the neo-cons have created.
