Polls Show Americans Dissatisfied with Iraq, Bush
The latest Harris telephone poll asking the question, “Do you favor keeping a large number of U.S. troops in Iraq until there is a stable government there or bringing most of our troops home in the next year?” of Americans “shows a clear 63% majority now favors bringing troops home in the next year,” as quoted by the Wall Street Journal.
Just 33% favor keeping troops in Iraq until a stable government is established. An increasing number of representatives, including Republicans, have called for a timetable to be set for withdrawal. Whenever President Bush or his spokesman is questioned about increasing violence or the possibility of withdrawal, he blabbers something about “our Mission,” never really explaining what that is.
Meanwhile, President Bush’s approval rating has fallen to below 50% amid the outbreak of the Downing Street memo, clearly showing his plans to invade Iraq well before any threats materialized.
What do you think? Is it time to bring the boys back home? Is Bush doing a good job? Dialogue is democracy. Let’s talk about it.
