Iraq to US- Leave Now

[Jcrowley]

In Baghdad, for example, nearly three-quarters of residents polled said they would feel safer if U.S. and other foreign forces left Iraq, with 65 percent of those asked favoring an immediate pullout, according to State Department polling results obtained by The Washington Post.

Another new poll, scheduled to be released on Wednesday by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, found that 71 percent of Iraqis questioned want the Iraqi government to ask foreign forces to depart within a year. By large margins, though, Iraqis believed that the U.S. government would refuse the request, with 77 percent of those polled saying the United States intends keep permanent military bases in the country.

While urging their followers to stop attacks on other Muslims, the clerics said U.S. and other coalition troops should leave, the Los Angeles Times reported.

2. This war will go down in history as one of the biggest blunders

by the US since its inception. It is difficult to see a "good" solution or end to this disaster. The US will be "damned if we do, and damned if we don't" pull-out of this war. I for one say let's save some of our young men & women, cut our losses, and get the H_ll out! "Cut & run", helllll yes! The longer we stay, the more enemies we make.:banghead:

Give them their country back and give us OURS. Bring them Home, Now. End the illegal *war*.

This has become just a matter of * saving face. It's too late for that.

5. When Iraq is 'democratized,' will anyone listen to the majority?

Therein lies the proof of the lie.

This seems to be an incredible interview for MSM. Awful conditions -- The absolute worst. As someone has said elsewhere, it's degenerated into every single person against every other person.


Mr. President: Bring them home!
