Did you miss the part where 82 percent want us to leave? Speaking of understanding democracy?
Um...sure, we want us to leave too. But not until we're finished. It's the question, stupid (to borrow a line from someone whose name I will not mention).
Of course they want us to leave. I'm surprised it wasn't 100%. I watched an ABC interview with several Iraqis of various opinions and occupations, including a Sunni higher-up, but even he didn't want the U.S. to walk out immediately. Only the university student wanted us gone that day, and she was the typical protester type. The rest was from within the year to several years.
"Did you miss the part where 82 percent want us to leave? Speaking of understanding democracy?"
That is the type of crap polling statement that liberals love. I suspect 100% of our soldiers want to leave Iraq, as does President Bush. But sometimes adults have to do unpleasant things because it is right and necessary. If you asked Iraqis the poll question: "Do you want the Americans to leave immediately and plunge the country into civil war, risking another Baathist or Al Queda purge of a million people?" I suspect you know what their answer would be.
As far as the infrastucture goes, are you saying nothing at all good has come from the last two years of effort? That Iraqis are incapable of rebuilding their society? Are you saying that the infrastructure would be better off is Zarqawi came to power? Oh come now, such weak arguments.
Liberals have to lie and spin to make their arguments even marginally plausible.
