Poll: Americans Wary of Iraq Turnover

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans are skeptical about the turnover of political control to Iraqis at a time the country has not been stabilized, according to polls released Monday.

By a 2-1 ratio, Americans say the turnover of political control to Iraqis now is not a sign of success, but a sign of failure because the nation's stability remains in question, according to a CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll. Still, three-fourths in the poll approved of the U.S. handover of authority to Iraqis.

The U.S.-led coalition in Iraq transferred sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government Monday - two days early.

In the Gallup poll, six in 10 said the handover of authority at such an unstable point is a sign of failure, while about three in 10, 32 percent, said the handover of authority on schedule is a sign of success, according to the Gallup poll taken last week.

1. They can show that footage of Bremer getting on the plane all they like.

The fact is, American troops are still there in harm's way.

Terrorists don't give a rat's ass about who's in charge in Iraq. Their goal is to create chaos. And the fact remains that the provisional government is still beholden to the US.
