Basically all of them want the US to either get out now, or start a phased withdrawal now

It looks like the only reason we are there is to prop up an unpopular government, not to actually do what the Iraqis want...another reason to call it an occupation

"More than half of the 2000 participants said they want all the US troops out now, the remainder want the withdrawal to begin immediately. The economy is a big problem for most Iraqi's as well which isn't surprising—The Iraqis also feel that since the Democrats won big time in November they are hoping that they'll be able to help change policy."


A whole 2000 people! And just who are these people and where do they live? Even CNN reported a survey as "9 in 10" and "19 out of 20."

Not that I doubt the "real" numbers may be alarmingly high, but no need to misrepresent. 2000 people out of 26,074,906!

You have not answered the question of how this survey was done?

15-20% of the people of Iraq are Kurds! Even if every non-Kurdish citizen said they felt safer under Saddam that means about 2/3rds of Kurds also said they felt safer under Saddam!
