Who wants a timetable for Iraq?

According to AlterNet, the majority of the Iraqi parliament do. They claim that more than half of the legislators have signed a petition to get the question before the parliament. Whether they will be successful is uncertain.

The article goes on to claim that the battle for Iraq is between nationalists (who want a strong central government) and separatists (who do not want a strong central government). In the writers' opinion the U.S. is on the side of the separatists and have rebuffed overtures from the nationalist side. Clearly, the major media have not posed the same conflict.

Who will be proven correct?
