That's 70% of Iraqis - it would be a leap to go from talking about our leadership to what the Iraqis think. The Iraqi government is happy with the surge and made a point of coming out two days ago to say so. They're also happy with the converts in, for instance, the Anbar region where they've had a huge upswing of police recruits and a serious fall in violence. Guess what, turns out it isn't a bunch of Iraqis who are attacking us and the Iraqis are as tired of the foreigners as we are, or at least getting that way. I'll tell you who else is happy we're there, the marsh arabs... :) _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
