BS. Very few troops want to go back to Iraq. That is just hogwash. Sure there are always gung ho types, but a recent poll in North Carolina amongst active-duty troops gave Bush a 53% disapproval rating on his handling of the war.

The troops are not as pro-Iraq or pro-Bush as you think. Of course many of them are completely apolitical and just do their job no matter what. In fact, in the military you're not really allowed to state political opinions.

The one Iraq vet I talked to recently, a Colonel, was eager to get the job done but very disappointed in the Bush-Halliburton-Saudi mafia. He told me Halliburton runs everything and you're not allowed to ask questions. Like what happened to all those missing billions of dollars and all those Iraqi oil revenues that were supposed to pay for everything? He also said "Saudi Arabia is not our friend". And who's in bed with the Saudis? Bush and all his Texas pals.
