If the US is regarded as a joke then why doesn't Iran fight? Why does Syria stay quiet? Why does Lebanon focus only on Israel? Because they are all coward muslim scum that S/H/I/T bricks at the idea of facing the United States. The cost is too much. 4,000 US troops is too much for only 100,000+ muslim dead. Hell ONE soldier is too much for ALL the muslim scum in Iraq. Billions of dollars for only minimal destruction is too much. It would've been cheaper just to nuke the damn place and make an example of them. Who would dare say anything? Russia? They hate Muslims more than we do. China? They depend too much on us (and fear us) to do much. Pakistan? They are too busy bending over backwards for the Taliban to care. and besides, India will offset any possible threat. The EU? They have a HUGE muslim problem and would be glad to get rid of a few million. So no, The US is in the right path but needs to keep the Iraqis in a tighter leash. Lets hope McCain invades Iran to shut up that damn annoying sand monkey. I want to see Khomeinis head on a platter as well. Give it time brothers, give it time. McCain willing, we'll see the middle east burn.

I guess because I have been there my point will mean nothing but here it goes.
The Iraqis oppose U.S. presence but at the same time they welcome what we have given them. There was a poll recently that showed Iraqi's prefer what they have today over 4 years ago. Of course, that poll was silenced and another poll conducted along with it (same as this poll...by ABC) was shown all over major media. Now answer why that was done? Here is the answer..it makes our troops and President look good.

Good polls, so if Polls are relevant 60% are dissatisfied with the Palosi Controlled Congress, so lets only go by Polls, get out of Iraq, Impeach all in Congress and put in President Giuliani,
(He is betting Hillary and Obama in Polls for president)

I would like to see the actual questions asked as opposed to this arbitrary synopsis. It just doesn't make and sense. Iraqi people are not so stupid to think their lives will improve if we leave and all hell breaks loose.
It is also a little too convenient how it just so happens to be supportive of the democratic cut and run coalition.

ABC/ BBC poll- is your answer.
According to an ABC/BBC poll half the black population in America wants a liberal-leaning hispanic president. Actually, what the question was:
Would you support Hillary or Jennifer Lopez?
Polls mean nothing beyond what the creator wants them to be.

They can't admit they are wrong to be spending billions in American tax dollars per week to prop up an Islamic Law based Iraqi Constitution.
Conservatives seem to care more about Iraq than America

We are their to help the Iraq government to become self-supporting. Bush has already said that "If the Iraqi governement asks us to leave, we will".
So mabye you should ask the Iraqi government why they are not reacting to this poll...
