WASHINGTON - Overwhelming numbers of Iraqis say the U.S. troop buildup has worsened security and the prospects for economic and political progress in their country, according to a poll released Monday that provides a strikingly bleak appraisal of the war.

Forty-seven percent want American forces and their coalition allies to leave the country immediately, the survey showed, 12 points more than said so in a March poll as the troop increase was beginning. And 57 percent — including nearly all Sunnis and half of Shiites — said they consider attacks on coalition forces acceptable, a slight increase over the past half year.

5. MANY innocent Iraqi people have been slaughtered............

and MANY others have been driven from their homes and live in dispair. THAT is NOT OK. It is time for the US to leave Iraq.

7. I'd say more than many innocent Iraqis have been slaughtered

Remember during the first few days of Shock And Awe and our cable news would gleefully report that this Iraqi battalion or that Iraqi battalion of Iraqi conscripts had just been turned into pink mist by our bombs and cruise missiles? And everyone would go, "Yea, kill those Iraqis." Remember that?

Well those conscripts were innocent Iraqis. Every last one one of them. Hadn't done a thing to us. Never even dreamed of, or were ever capable of doing anything to us. Our military still blew them into smithereens on orders from some ate up, admitted "former" dope head and drunk.

Hard to believe what we have done when you put it all into perspective.

10. It is hard to believe that our country is responsible............

for ALL of these heinous, horrific acts.

Is it possible that there will be a Backlash against leaving this mess for

the next administration to clean up?

HOW could there not be?

6. It's like they don't want us there or something.

They practically begged us to destroy their country and take their oil, and this is the thanks we get? Oh well, if they didn't want us there they shouldn't have committed 9/11. Let's nuke 'em to show them we care.

9. WHAT?

8. So they agree with Bush. nt
