Americans Still Split on Ending Iraq Deployment

[ECH1969]

Adults in the United States are divided on whether to withdraw all troops from Iraq, according to a poll by Princeton Survey Research Associates for the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. 48 per cent of respondents think the U.S. should keep all soldiers in Iraq until the situation has stabilized, while 48 would bring the troops home as soon as possible.

47 per cent of respondents think the U.S. made the right decision in using military force against Iraq, while 46 per cent disagree. In December 2005, Iraqi voters renewed their National Assembly. Yesterday, Shiite United Iraqi Alliance member Jawad al-Maliki was designated as Iraq’s new prime minister. Al-Maliki has a month to form a government.

1. Hard to believe

47% say the invasion was the "right decision"?? WTF???

Very depressing poll. You'd think people would be waking up by now.

2. They have woken up that Bush and Rummy did a terrible job planning the war

Bush's approval on Iraq is in the low 30s. But, a good percentage of the public still hates Saddam and liked seeing him go down.
