This is probably too complicated for you to understand. Actually, I think it's too complicated for you. Given the realities of a nation now in a state of total chaos. Al

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). First, the percentage wanting us to stay is decreasing, not increasing as you suggest.....your Zogby bias BS because the numbers are down from the Aug. Gallup poll notwithstanding. Coincidentally, these numbers are going down just as Bush's are going down as well. Secondly, the minority that want us to leave is sizeable, vocal and violent. This violent, vocal and sizeable minority is killing our troops. You wear the death of our troops as a badge of courage but I don't. What you think we might gain by staying does not equate to what we are losing. 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. This is probably too complicated for a redneck like you to understand but they are killing our soldiers daily, protesting our presence in their country 24/7 and worse, refusing to help our guys when they are hurt. I can take the first two but the last one just pisses the living shit out of me. And you are fascist for wanting to perpetuate this BS. Bottom line: Once again, you're wrong. Hell, correcting you is like correcting a four-year old. There is just no end to it. And you, sir, are not even human!
