The article actually says nothing about US troop exit, it talks about setting a timetable for 'handing over security' to Iraqi troops. That could simply be a bureaucratic shift in the chain of command, with Iraqi HQ being in charge of day-to-day operations while US forces remain in their 14 or so large permanent military bases maintaining control over the strategic oil fields and assuring that the shiite government doesn't stray too far from the fold.
