Here's your chance, righties, to prove you really support our troops. Join the liberals and Democrats who want to see the U.S. leave Iraq. C'mon, righties, do you support our troops or is it what we suspected all along, that you bend over to help make Bush look good.

* Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed”
* While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy
* Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown
* Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
* Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation
* Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment

An overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops serving in Iraq think the U.S. should exit the country within the next year, and nearly one in four say the troops should leave immediately, a new Le Moyne College/Zogby International survey shows.

Times up neo-cons. Get your "plan" together and let us know what you "plan" on doing next. You have such great ideas. I'm sure you've planned long and hard about what to do if Iraq does break out in civil war. In one week, we've had reportedly 1300+ men women and children killed while you provide your "security plan", so if you still support this misadventure i nation building its time to come out and say so.

Lets hear it.

Now, does this mean that our troops are not supporting our troops?
It would appear so, since that was the attack tactic utilized ny neo-cons.
How Un-American of our troops, they should all be sent back to wherever they came from, isn't that right, PFIEL?

I would bring them home, I would have a while ago. But, honestly, I'm really not interested in a poll of the troops. Their job is to do what the Commander in Chief tells them to do. That's what they chose to do.

No it couldn't be that they have seen things over there that might contradict your looney left wing websites.

I don't see how you see this as supporting your view point. 1 out of 4 isn't exactly an overwhelming majority. Especially considering the majority of the soldiers that stated that were National Guard and reservists (according to the information on that page) who had there civilian lives disrupted to go into Iraq. 72 percent support being out of there by the years end isn't a news flash either that has been the target date for some time now to get a fully operational Iraqi army, not withdrawel but a draw down time frame. I guess if it makes you feel better go ahead and enjoy it.

I will even leave alone the fact that only 944 military service members were interviewed that is roughly .007 percent of the troops serving in country.

Don't you mean "support our war ciminals"?

I guess they'll be a little bit pissed to find out that they're not leaving this year or next, or the year after that, or the one after that. I mean, they'll rotate out, sure, but with enlistment in the tank and nobody with the political sack to call on a draft, they'll be back again and again for two three four tours.

Or, is the permanent base, in Balad for example, just a figment of the curious minds collective "liberal" imagination?

And mgcolby, as is typical for scientific polls, they do mention the error rate.

I'll go WAY out on a limb and say these numbers get higher as the end of the year closes in and the ones still over there are polled again. I don't think the chimp's monkeygrinders have an adequate reserve of recruits or guardsmen who haven't been there yet to sustain morale for much longer. Unfortunately, it could get much worse for our troops when the civil war sh-tstorm hits and the number of those wanting out immediately creeps up to 30%.

Never mind the danger they're in, how'd you like to be a part of a force where every fourth guy wants out NOW? And the other three want out in 9 months, and you all know it's gonna go on for another three years minimum. The Iraqi "defense forces" are nowhere near ready and will splinter quickly when they realize they better choose one militia or another or get killed!

What a cluster f-ck!

This same article was in the Stars and Stripes today:

I do believe that the poll numbers can be skewed dependent on what type of unit you are polling. A National Guard water purification unit that has to pull base camp guard is going to have a different opinion than a Infantry unit doing cordon and search.
