Iraqis Want US Out as Soon as Possible: US Commander
National Nine News
According to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Marine General Peter Pace, "Iraqis themselves would prefer to have coalition forces leave their country as soon as possible." Pace said in a Christmas Day interview on Fox News Sunday, "They don't want us to leave tomorrow, but they do want us to leave as soon as possible."
An opinion survey conducted in Iraq in October and November by ABC News and a pool of other US and foreign media outlets showed that despite some improvements in security and living standards, US military operations in the country were increasingly unpopular.
Two-thirds of those polled said they opposed the presence of US and coalition forces in Iraq, up 14 points from a similar survey taken in February 2004.
Nearly 60 percent disapproved of the way the United States has operated in Iraq since the war began in March 2003, with most of those expressing "strong disapproval," the poll found.
