The "numbers" are in our favor? How then, do you account for the fact that the latest Gallup Poll shows that 57 percent of Iraqis now want American troops to leave immediately. Is that your idea of progress?

Ahh, gotta read your polls carefully. There is no timetable on that. Other questions in THAT SAME POLL say that they want "security" and they know that in the next year or so, that means us. This divergence has been commented upon by Dan Senor, the top military liason in Bagdhad, as long as three weeks ago.
