In fact, polls show that they want us to leave. As usual, you don't know WTF you're talking about. In Gallup's recent poll, 71% felt US troops should not leave "in the next few months". Only 26% thought troops should leave "that soon". This is up from a poll taken in June by the Iraqi Strategic Research Center, which found that 51% wanted American troops to stay at least until the new government is formed -- the point being that as time goes on, the Iraqi people have grown to appreciate our presence. Even Zogby, whose poll was clearly biased, reported that 2/3 wanted us to leave "in one year" (i.e., not now). This is probably too complicated for you to understand. But these people are just beginning to taste freedom, and it their attitudes are still heavily biased by the anti-Americanism they experienced under Saddam's rule. As time goes on, the United States will continue to receive more popular support. Already, the numbers are impressive. Bottom line: Once again, you're wrong. Hell, correcting you is like correcting a four-year old. There is just no end to it.
