What The Iraqi People Want
New WPO Poll: Iraqi Public Wants Timetable for US Withdrawal, But Thinks US Plans Permanent Bases in Iraq

Half of Iraqis Approve of Attacks on US Forces, Including 9 Out of 10 Sunnis

Full Report

A new poll of the Iraqi public finds that a large majority of Iraqis think the US plans to maintain bases in Iraq permanently, even if the newly elected government asks the US to leave. A large majority favors setting a timeline for the withdrawal of US forces, though this majority divides over whether the timeline should be over a period of six months or two years. Nearly half of Iraqis approve of attacks on US-led forces—including nine out of 10 Sunnis. Most Iraqis believe that many aspects of their lives will improve once the US-led forces leave, but are nonetheless uncertain that Iraqi security forces are ready to stand on their own.

2. no surprise
"will US withdraw if asked?"

Haven't all polls shown that the Iraqi PEOPLE want us out?
George doesn't listen to ordinary citizens, though. Can't trust them to do what's right for his "freedoms".

I hate to be included in these things(the majority in the US wants us out also by all our polls), the correct designation would be "Will the Bush Administration withdraw if asked?".
