It's Time To End the Occupation


In a poll conducted in September of 2007 by the BBC, ABC News and NHK, Iraqis gave the following responses:

  • 70% of Iraqis believe security has deteriorated in the area covered by the US military "surge"
  • 60% see attacks on US-led forces as justified
  • Only 29% think things will get better in the next year
  • 58% said they had "no confidence" in US/UK occupation forces
  • 53% "Strongly Oppose" the presense of coalition forces in Iraq. An additional 26% "Somewhat oppose" them. I'm guessing there are "various reasons" for this.
There is not one Republican candidate that supports ending the occupation.
