Great stats there Oaf- so a MAJORITY of respondants say the US invasion has done more harm than good- (that is, among people who could come out when the pollster came by and weren't busy caring for injured and maimed relatives or trying to rebuild their houses).

Yet a smaller majority feel the country is better off than it was before the invasion, add 31% who feel its worse to the 21% who say its unchanged and you have to admit that a Majority of those polled feel that their country is NOT better off than it was under Hussein.

And just what is an "International Republican"? does the Iraqi Republican Guard belong to that group? or (what I expect) is that its an organizattion of US republicans with their eyes on international control and domination.

 

Here's an article on Cheney defending Bush and denouncing those that want to exit so abruptly:

This is what I was trying to say about impatience. Maybe Bush is on to something by staying in Iraq till the end of time. It's the impatience of the American and Iraqi people that will kill this in water... So on a political standpoint why not just attempt a pull-out (a gradual one at that) and prove the dems wrong?

If they push for a pullout and it fails, then there will be equal blame on each party. If they pull out and it succeeds in working, then Bush looks good as well as the dems. It also shows that although their stances are partisan, both sides have been in favor of doing what they think is right for that country.
