Poll: 71 % of Iraqis want us out....
...of their country within one year.

Did anyone else see this story on CNN?

Apparently, a poll was conducted in Iraq, and an overwhelming majority
want us the hell out within one year.

I thought that was amazing.

1. "Iraqis" -- isn't that just a focus group, though?
Edited on Wed Sep-27-06 01:43 PM by kenny blankenship
(I mean, who cares what they think. Republicans -and not a few Democrats too and they can be found even here at DU- think that THEY know what is best for Iraq, and furthermore that our own strictly selfish fears and concerns are more important in determining what happens in Iraq than what Iraqis want, which is for us to get the hell out of their country yesterday)

the American people.

Neocons have BIG plans for themselves in the WORLD (scr** Iraq and America...and Iran...and other "commas").

5. Iraqis out of patience, been that way since 4/28/2004
BAGHDAD — Only a third of the Iraqi people now believe that the American-led occupation of their country is doing more good than harm, and a solid majority support an immediate military pullout even though they fear that could put them in greater danger.
