Like I said, polls are not terribly reliable in a country where people are distrustful and afraid. I saw the poll you posted. The one above says something different.

I find an oddly inconsistent point to the poll you posted. Most polls suggest that over half of Iraqis support attacks on U.S. troops. How could this be true if they also want troops to remain in the country for the "forseeable future"? Again, a referendum would be a more reliable way of knowing.

I am quite sure that the new Iraq leader has asked the U.S. to set up a schedule to withdraw.
