The Soldiers Speak. Will President Bush Listen?
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
When President Bush held a public meeting with troops by satellite
last fall, they were miraculously upbeat.
And all along, unrepentant hawks (most of whom have never been to
Iraq) have insisted that journalists are misreporting Iraq and that
most soldiers are gung-ho about their mission.
Hogwash!
A new poll to be released today shows that U.S. soldiers
overwhelmingly want out of Iraq -- and soon.
The poll is the first of U.S. troops currently serving in Iraq,
according to John Zogby, the pollster. Conducted by Zogby
International and LeMoyne College, it asked 944 service members, "How
long should U.S. troops stay in Iraq?"
Only 23 percent backed Mr. Bush's position that they should stay as
long as necessary.
In contrast, 72 percent said that U.S. troops should be pulled out
within one year.
Of those, 29 percent said they should withdraw "immediately."
