1. The Iraqi's DO want the U.S. in Iraq.?
2. The liberal media clearly twists things towards the direction they want to report?
Why didn't the following author say it like this:
(my interpretation) "The majority of Iraqi's (57%) originally wanted the United States to stay in Iraq indefinately. Now, the majority of sunni and shiites believe they can take control of the situation in a years time, and no longer think the US will be necessary after that time."

The liberal slanted article:

"At one time, this was primarily a call by the Sunni minority, but now the Shiites have also come around to this view. The survey by much-respected World Public Opinion (WPO), taken in September, found that 74% of Shiites and 91% of Sunnis in Iraq want us to leave within a year. The number of Shiites making this call in Baghdad, where the U.S. may send more troops to bring order, is even higher (80%). In contrast, earlier this year, 57% of this same group backed an "open-ended" U.S. stay."

It seems to say 57% of Shiites in bagdad wanted the open ended stay, not 57% of all Iraqis.

I am sorry to say that you are wrong on both points.If media was against him he would have long time out of the office.Even the British are fighting shite Gangs in Basra.Nouri Al Maliki don't want to follow American direction rather he wants them out too.Because he knows he is living on borrowed time as long as Americans are in Iraq.Even Dr.Rice said it today at the hearings with sen.Biden and Sen Hagel.

first.... one citation from one publication does not come anywhere near judging an entire media that consists of thousands of publications...
but the poll said they wanted us to leave, not that "we think we can take over"... that's two different things, if you ask me... so that's why they didn't say that...
now one reason they may want us to leave, may be because they think they can take over... but that may not be the only reason...
you're assuming... on both fronts...
