The Madhr army says they will oppose with violence any agreement that results in US bases outside the cities. The agreement is not in doubt. The major question (not discussed in that quote) are whether Americans can have (suggested up to 70) military bases in Iraq.
All but the Kurds want Americans out completely. They still have a civil war to finish. Remember that war that Americans foolishly believed was Al Qaeda? Well that civil war has not yet resulted in any diplomatic solution. Only the Kurds think they will be losers in a three way civil war.
Notice the quote in that article - O'Hanlon - who was driven from government because he told the truth about Iraq in 2002.
