Poll: Iraqis Back Attacks on U.S. Troops By BARRY SCHWEID WASHINGTON (AP) - About six in 10 Iraqis say they approve of attacks on U.S.-led forces, and slightly more than that want their government to ask U.S. troops to leave within a year, according to a poll in that country. The Iraqis also have negative views of Osama bin Laden, according to the early September poll of 1,150. The poll, done for University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes, found: _Almost four in five Iraqis say the U.S. military force in Iraq provokes more violence than it prevents. _About 61 percent approved of the attacks - up from 47 percent in January. A solid majority of Shiite and Sunni Arabs approved of the attacks, according to the poll. The increase came mostly among Shiite Iraqis. _An overwhelmingly negative opinion of terror chief bin Laden and more than half, 57 percent, disapproving of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. _Three-fourths say they think the United States plans to keep military bases in Iraq permanently. _A majority of Iraqis, 72 percent, say they think Iraq will be one state five years from now. Shiite Iraqis were most likely to feel that way, though a majority of Sunnis and Kurds also believed that would be the case. The PIPA poll, which included an oversample of 150 Sunni Iraqis, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The State Department, meanwhile, has also conducted its own poll, something it does periodically, spokesman Sean McCormack said. The State Department poll found that two-thirds of Iraqis in Baghdad favor an immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces, according to The Washington Post. McCormack declined to discuss details of the department's Iraq poll. "What I hear from government representatives and other anecdotal evidence that you hear from Iraqis that is collected by embassy personnel and military personnel is that Iraqis do appreciate our presence there," he said. "They do understand the reasons for it, they do understand that we don't want to or we don't intend to be there indefinitely." Iraqi officials have said Iraq's security was improving and expanding throughout the country, and most U.S. troops might be able to leave eventually. Last week, Iraqi President Jalal Talibani told the United Nations that coalition forces should remain in Iraq until Iraqi security forces are "capable of putting an end to terrorism and maintaining stability and security."

If everyone is starting to steal CYBERKEN's thunder, he may finally be able to sit back and enjoy the coming PURGE of the domestic enemy. Better start getting those Cuban/English dictionaries ready, as well as a couple truckloads of Cuban/ebonic dictionaries...

"Aligning himself with congressional Democrats in the debate on the war in Iraq, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said today that the U.S. needs to set a clear timeline for bringing troops home. Otherwise, he said, Iraq could devolve into a quagmire. Schwarzenegger, speaking on CBS's "Face the Nation,'' said Americans won't support an open-ended commitment to the war - a point, he said, that needs to be made to the Iraqis. "We should let the Iraqis know that we are here," until a specified time, the governor said, "and then we're going to draw back. We're going to draw our troops out of Iraq. "I think a timeline is absolutely important because I think that the people in America don't want to see another Korean war, another Vietnam war, where it's an open-ended thing. There should be a timeline,'' Schwarzenegger said.
