A Troubling Poll Out Of Iraq

Here’s a poll of a different twist. This one comes out of Iraq and is in
regards to the war.

Poll shows Iraqis back attacks on UK,
US forces

LONDON (Reuters) – Forty-five percent of Iraqis believe attacks on
U.S. and British troops are justified, according to a secret poll said
to have been commissioned by British defense leaders and cited by The Sunday
Telegraph.

Less than 1 percent of those polled believed that the forces were
responsible for any improvement in security, according to poll figures.

Eighty-two percent of those polled said they were “strongly opposed”
to the presence of the troops.

The paper said the poll, conducted in August by an Iraqi university
research team, was commissioned by the Ministry of Defense.

Britain has more than 8,000 troops stationed in the south of Iraq, and
has had 97 soldiers killed, the most recent the victim of a roadside bomb on
Tuesday night.

That poll reveals some really alarming numbers. Sadly though, we can plan on
our administration to ignore it.
