Troop Support For The War Plummets

Don't you ever get tired of hearing Bush say "we question the mission we undermine the morale of our troops"? (If you don't know what I mean then you can read Bush's words here via Think Progress).

Well there is a new Zogby poll out that says 72% of the troops want us out of Iraq this year. Further more the poll also says:

  • Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows 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% say U.S. role is hazy
  • Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown
  • Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’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

Seems like more and more people are wanting us out of Iraq. Just Bush and his followers feel we should stay there.
