US State Department poll of Iraqis - violence would decline with US gone.

Rather damning. Wonder how Bush & Co. let this leak?

"The attack in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, came as a new poll by the State Department and independent researchers indicated a strong majority of Iraqis want U.S.-led military forces to withdraw immediately from the country. The poll, obtained by The Washington Post, showed, for example, that nearly three-quarters of Baghdad residents would feel safer if the U.S. and other foreign forces left Iraq with 65 percent favoring an immediate pullout."

Not exactly what Bush says, however. Has to have a government with will beg for US presence, and honor oil contracts.
