Q: How is a non-binding petition to set a timetable 'rejecting occupation'?

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
The democratically elected government of Iraq has asked for a timetable for US troops to leave Iraq. It's as close as the art of diplomacy gets to saying 'take- off'.

If they ask, we should leave.
If it's for real, I'm genuinely glad for the entire US politicos, especially the next President. No better excuses can be found than an official "we want you off."
S/He is no longer such a guaranteed one-term suicide President if Iraq could be "solved" (meaning, US drops everything and get the hell out, come what may; genocides, massacres, destruction in one of the world's most important regions aside) in such a manner. Poor Mr. Bush is already dead, politically of course.
