Did You Know - Iraqi Poll

The Iraqis are as sick of the war in their country as we are. President Bush, isn't it time to cut our loses?

From Raw Story...

Iraqis are increasingly pessimistic about the future, four years after ouster of Saddam Hussein -- and fewer than one in five have faith in the US-led coalition, a poll showed Monday.

The survey, contrasting with a survey two years ago, indicated that barely a quarter -- 26 percent -- feel safe in their own neighbourhoods as the anniversary of the US-led invasion is marked this week.

Only 18 percent of those polled have confidence in the United States and the US-led coalition troops, while some 78 percent opposed the presence of coalition forces and 69 percent said it worsened the security situation.

Faith in the new Iraqi government was a little better, although hardly overwhelming: 53 percent were dissatisfied with the performance of the Iraqi government.
