Here is another one from June. Have I made my point yet GST? REBUILDING IRAQ Poll Shows Iraqis Want American Troops to Stay By Dale Hurd CBN News Sr. Reporter June 20, 2003 CBN.com – The guerrilla war against American forces in Iraq continued today, with an attack against a power plant. But despite the ongoing attacks on Americans, a new poll shows the overwhelming majority of people in Baghdad want the U.S. forces to stay. The attack knocked out one of two transformers at the power plant, which provides nearly half the electricity to the city of Fallujah. It was the fourth attack in 24 hours and the latest in what has become a fairly effective guerrilla war against the American military presence. About a dozen U.S. servicemen have been killed by hostile fire in Iraq since President Bush declared major combat over on May 1st. And the spiraling attacks have been used by critics of the president to prove that American forces are not welcome in Iraq. But a new survey of Iraqis shatters that view. CBS reports the first ever public opinion poll in Iraq shows that almost two-thirds (65%) of Baghdad residents say they want the U.S. military to stay until Iraq is stable and secure; only 17 percent want American soldiers out now. One reason Iraqis want Americans to stay is that Saddam Hussein is believed to l be alive and inside Iraq. The New York Times reports newly intercepted communications among fugitive members of the Saddam Fedayeen and the Iraqi intelligence service have included discussions indicating the former Iraqi dictator is alive. The Times says new operations in the hunt for Saddam are under way, led by a secret military group that includes elite Army and Navy special forces, along with the CIA. cbn.com
