US Troops say end the War in Iraq in 2006!!

"The Zogby Poll of 944 soldiers, randomly sampled at several locations throughout the country, showed that 72% think the U.S. should exit Iraq in the next 12 months. It was the most controversial finding in the survey, and has been interpreted differently by different people across the nation, depending in part on their points of view on the war." That's the headline of the latest findings which show that now even our soldiers don't think we should be there any longer.

To quote Zogby, "The poll was conducted in conjunction with the Center for Peace and Global Studies at Le Moyne College, a Catholic school in Syracuse, New York. While the center promotes the study of conflict around the world, it is not an anti-war organization."

Here are some other findings that give additional insight about how some of our troops feel:

* Just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay as long as they are needed”
* While 58% say mission is clear, 42% U.S. role is hazy
*• Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown
* Almost 90% think war is retaliation for SaddamÂ’s role in 9/11, most don'’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
* Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation
* Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment.

Congresman John Murtha of Pennsylvania, knows the heart of our troops and their commanders as well and when he said on Meet the Press on Sunday, Nov.20th, that the best strategy in Iraq is to leave, believe him, as he does care so much about all of them. We must bring home a significant number of troops in 2006 and the remainder in 2007 if we want to do what's best for Iraq and what's best for America. Right now I find myself caring only about what's best for America because I believe this Administration under Bush and Cheney have their own private war being played out. If they want to continue it, I say let them fight it themselves. Heck, I'll even pay their airfare to go over there.
