It's not a threat, it's reality. If they continue to stall, all forces in Iraq, not just US forces, will have to leave.

Not really. US troops will remain with some Iraq soldiers as trainers/advisors
until 2011. The troops will cease to have an active military role in the
fighting. Troops can also mantain bases outside some cities in a backup role.
