Poll: Fewer than half think U.S. will win in Iraq
More than half say country should speed up withdrawal

Thursday, September 22, 2005

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Thursday indicated fewer than half of Americans believe the United States will win the Iraq war, and 55 percent of those surveyed said it should speed up withdrawal plans.

Only 21 percent said the United States definitely would win the war in Iraq, which began when a U.S.-led coalition invaded in 2003 to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Another 22 percent said they thought the United States probably would win.

Twenty percent of respondents said the United States was capable of winning in Iraq -- but probably would not. And 34 percent said they considered the war unwinnable.

We already won the war in Iraq in 2003 that's a queer question; the problem is there was no plan for after our decisive victory...

Winning means finding Saddam Hussein's Nook-yuh-lar weapons and disarming them. That's the reason we invaded, remember? [Roll Eyes]

I'm still waiting...

Excellent point magnetic. Now we got even more media over there watching our every move. Kinda hard to lay the smack on deserving recipients when it's gonna make the news and everyone back here in the states will arm-chair quarterback you to death. Most of which have never been in armed conflict or even in the military.

If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.
