It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood

I don't see a big outcry for us to leave by the Iraqi people.

 

Obviously because you arent bothering to research the matter. Then again relying on censored US media to understand what is truly occurring in the world I am not surprised.

Huge majority of Iraqis want coalition to go

The government has been dealt an embarrassing double blow in its battle to convince the public it is beating insurgency in Iraq and the threat of terrorism at home, according to confidential reports leaked to today's newspapers.
One claimed nearly half of all Iraqis sympathised with violent attacks against British and US coalition troops; another said that at home, Tony Blair's high-profile strategy to counter the terrorist threat was proving disjointed and ineffective.

Downing Street, while saying it would not comment on 'allegedly leaked reports', told The Observer last night that Britain remained firm in its commitment to stay in Iraq until the elected government felt it was ready to take over security responsibilities. The figures on Iraqis' views about attacks on coalition troops came from a nationwide opinion survey, commissioned by the Ministry of Defence and leaked to the Sunday Telegraph

According to the report, fewer than one in 100 respondents felt the presence of American, British and other allied troops was improving security in the country.

Forty-five per cent countrywide were said to believe that the attacks on the troops were justified - a figure that rose to 65 per cent in the Maysan, one of the provinces policed by the British. No fewer than 82 per cent, according to the report, declared themselves 'strongly opposed' to the presence of coalition troops.

The findings prompted the Conservative shadow defence minister, Andrew Robathan, to call for a review of Britain's role in the country.

'I am not advocating a pullout,' he emphasised. 'But if British soldiers are putting their lives on the line for a cause which is not supported by the Iraqi people, then we have to ask the question "What are we doing there?"'

A separate leaked report, from the Prime Minister's policy delivery unit, sharply criticised the anti-terror policy drawn up after last year's Madrid train bombings and reinforced after the attacks on the London transport system in July.

According to the Sunday Times, the report said: 'The strategy is immature. Forward planning is disjointed or has yet to occur.' It added: 'Accountability for delivery is weak. Real-world impact is seldom measured.'
