Withdraw? pull out? Well that is just not very manly if you ask me.
Then the majority should have voted last fall, oh yes, they did.
This poll is as meaningless as Bill Clinton speech.
Well said Mr President.
I think we should pull our troops out when Zarqawi and his friends are particles. And no sooner.
Most people? Who are they? No one asked me these questions. I say this is your regular garden variety BS.
Complete and utter BS. Did you hear the TIPP pole Rush read today on his program. America stands behind this mission (at least real americans do)
I think its the biggest mistake we could possibly make!!! Withdrawing troops from iraq at this point of time will result in utter chaos and confusion!!! Iraqi troops are hardly well trained to deal with such a situation and terrorists will soon gain the upper hand....... At best it will result in a civil war between shias and sunnis and worst-- Iraq will become the new base for al-qaeda and terror groups!!!!
Agreed. These kinds of polls are useless and stilted toward desired answers. The only poll that really counts is the one held on election day, and staying there and fighting it out won hands down.
This is misleading. On the Gullap poll, not more than half were for complete withdraw, even some asked for a decrease of troops.
If you'd bothered to read the article, you'd know this was our troops in Iraq and those brave guys, well, whatever method they want to use gets a salute from me. And don't forget a significant percent of our troops over there are gals, and maybe they prefer that too? You don't speak for them, missy!
Owl_Eagle(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
Should we? Eventualy, yes.
Too soon and all will have been for nothing. Maybe in about a year when the Iraqi government is stronger we can start to pull out.
Pollaganda.
Another polls says that 70% of americans say we should stay there:
"What's more, a large majority (70%) also believe it's important for the U.S. and coalition countries to maintain a military presence in Iraq. "

I hope the government learns from these polls and starts using poll data to govern. It is clear that a small number of randomly selected individuals knows more about what is right for the country than our elected leaders. /sarcasm
Come on, give me a break. Let W drive the bus, and if you don't like where it is going, change drivers. You get a chance to do this every four years. Why not ask a bunch of randomly selected individuals if bedrooms should be white or off white?
The MSM wants our troops out of Iraq before we can claim unmitigated success -- so they can write about how we failed in our mission for years to come.
Hah! That's what you think!
If you put the "increase troops" the "keep troops level" and the "withdraw some" respondents together, 70% favor staying in Iraq.
Man or woman, No one likes it when someone causes an early pull out!!
IMO, polls are worthless, meaningless, and counter-productive-- the only "poll" that ought to count are elections. If you care enough to register, and go down and vote, your actions mean something.
An opinion, as expressed by any poll is essentialy meaningless- it costs nothing, can be changed in an instant, and hence has little, if any, worth or value.
That said, it is no surprise any poll on this subject looks like this one- the public has been bombarded with negativity, and good news has been unmentioned by the ever-more-worthless Media Hive.
