There are days like today where one can literally see the salvos of propaganda from AP&the MSM with this and that 'piece' telling us how the Iraqis feel about the latest state of affairs in their war-torn country. At least, it sure seems like it as it is continually made out that Iraq suffers from widespread suffering and all is in vain.

Stand strong. What is afoot is having impact for good.

Stand by for all the negative news the MSM can create to get the Generals comments out of the news along with the facts and move toward liberal ideas.

[counterpunch]

Of course the AP didn’t actually venture beyond the press pool to take this poll.

[vetsvette]

They forgot to mention that they polled only al Qaeda members.

This is part of the Media’s tet offensive against US forces.

1. Denial of pro war ads in newspapers
2. Betray us attacks on Petraues
3. Bogus studies on how they hate us more

Like the previous offensive— it will fail.

The poll, conducted by ABC News, Britain's BBC, and Japan's public broadcaster NHK, was released at the start of a critical week in the fight by Democrats trying to force President Bush to begin a withdrawal.

Of course, the air is ripe with their BS.

We'll see how soon and how badly the Brits are missed as well..

What did Al AP do, poll Al Qaeda?

[Rodm]

Cut the polling crap AP

[DTogo]

Forty-seven percent want American forces and their coalition allies to leave the country immediately...

What a coincidence! 74% of Americans want Congress and their lobbyist allies to leave the country immediately...

[edcoil]

The brits held the place longer then they held some of our towns when we were at war with them.

[BigBobber]

The Iraqi people have an elected government. They can, through their elected officials, ask us to leave any time. They haven’t.

This poll doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.

[dforest]

They are doing the polling that the Iranians would do if they could. Or then...maybe they did!

[chaos_5]

I’m inclined to say, lets bring our boys home. Let the place turn into a terrorist $*** hole, and drop a nuke on it when they get out of hand. Bunch of ungrateful ingrates.

Polls of Japanese post-WWII reveal Japanese want Americans to go home.

Note on Methodology

“......In addition to the national sample, oversamples were drawn in Anbar province, Sadr City, Basra city and Kirkuk city to allow for more reliable analysis in those areas.”
