More sage advice from Exxon.

This morning, Putz goes back to our favorite guy at the ExxonMobil-funded TCS Daily (remember this?) for what to do about Iraq. Josh Manchester's cunning plan includes:

The US political class is currently misreading the US election, thinking that it provides a mandate for withdrawal. Instead, it was a message of general discontent.

Bzzzzzzzzz! Sorry, Josh, but you are currently misreading every objective poll on Iraq.

CNN 11/19

"Do you favor or oppose the war in Iraq?"
Favor 33%
Oppose 63%

"Which comes closest to your view about what the U.S. should now do about the number of U.S. troops in Iraq? The U.S. should send more troops to Iraq. The U.S. should keep the number of troops as it is now. The U.S. should withdraw some troops from Iraq. OR, The U.S. should withdraw all of its troops from Iraq."

Send more 16%
Keep same number 21%
Withrdraw some/all 60%

Pew 11/9

"Which concerns you more -- that the U.S. will leave Iraq before a stable democracy is in place, OR, that the U.S. will wait too long to withdraw its troops from Iraq?"

Leave too soon 33%
Wait too long 55%

"Do you think the US should or should not set a timetable for when troops will be withdrawn?"

Should 56%
Should not 36%

Newsweek 11/10

"All in all, do you think the United States is making progress or losing ground in its efforts to establish security and democracy in Iraq?"

Making progress 30%
Losing ground 63%

I realize that the wingnuttery doesn't believe in objective polling, but they're pretty cut and dry on this issue. I wonder when Putz will stop linking to these discredited sources in a feeble effort to bolster the non-existent support for the war.
