The article that your link points to is a much different article than the one I've just read. The one that I've read is very vague about Iraq's plans for US troop withdraw. Here is the title and a blurb from that article:
Iraqi Favors Short Security Pact With U.S.
BAGHDAD รข;; Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki publicly confirmed Monday that his government was leaning toward concluding a short-term security pact with the United States instead of a broader agreement that would last for years. The legal authority for American troops in Iraq is now provided by a United Nations mandate that expires at the end of the year. Iraq and the United States have been negotiating details of a broad new agreement that would formalize the security relationship, but with elections nearing in both countries and opposition likely from the Iraqi Parliament, Iraqi leaders seemed to be opting for a narrower and short-term pact.
Could you send me the correct link. I'd like to read it.

I don't know if you're questioning whether Maliki a timetable for American withdrawal, and this NY Times story doesn't specifically say so.
But here's a link to an NPR report that aired this morning, asserting the same thing in the headline and summary of this story.
