TPMCafe: Public Overwhelmingly Wanted Withdrawal Timetables

Yet the Democrats are not willing to stand up for the troops by "getting the policy right" and telling the Iraqis "they must stand up for Iraq" themselves, as John Kerry said today.

Poll: Public Overwhelmingly Wanted Withdrawal Timetables
By Eric Kleefeld

The American people were squarely behind withdrawal timetables right up until the Democratic Congressional leadership caved and decided to send the President a no-timelines, non-binding benchmarks Iraq War funding bill, the new CBS/New York Times poll finds.

Do you think the United States should or should not set a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq sometime in 2008?

Should 63%
Should not 34%

The kicker: A surprising 42% of Republicans were for setting a timetable. Independents were for a timetable by a margin of 61%-34%

1. I don't even think it's a Democrat thing...

I think the majority of Americans are thoroughly pissed...

2. You're absolutely right! Even 42% of R's and an astounding 61% of I's support a timetable.
