US Withdrawals from Iraq Any Time Soon?

Rumblings out of Iraq are examiningan early draft of the next US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement and some of the provisions in it:

US troops will withdraw from Iraq by the end of 2011 and American and British soldiers deployed there in the interim period could face prosecution in Iraq's courts for serious, premeditated 'off-duty' crimes, under the terms of a draft status of forces agreement outlined today by officials in Baghdad and Washington.
The draft agreement, which is intended to replace the UN security council mandate that legitimised the US-led invasion in March 2003, and subsequent occupation, follows months of fraught negotiations. It must be ratified by the Iraqi parliament before the end of the year.
