The survey was conducted Jan. 2-5, with a nationwide sample of 1,150

Nearly half of Iraqis support attacks on U.S. troops, poll finds
BY DREW BROWN

WASHINGTON - A new poll found that nearly half of Iraqis approve of
attacks on U.S.-led forces, and most favor setting a timetable for
American troops to leave.
The poll also found that 80 percent of Iraqis think the United States
plans to maintain permanent bases in the country even if the newly
elected Iraqi government asks American forces to leave.
Researchers found a link between support for attacks and the belief
among Iraqis that the United States intends to keep a permanent
military presence in the country.
