Iraqis hate Bush's war as much as Americans.

Nick Kristof (Times $elect):
...a poll this spring of Iraqis — who know their country much better than we do — shows that only 21 percent think that the U.S. troop presence improves security in Iraq, while 69 percent think it is making security worse.

Cut-and-runners. Don't they know they're making progress?

We simply can’t want to be in Iraq more than the Iraqis want us to be there. That poll of Iraqis, conducted by the BBC and other news organizations, found that only 22 percent of Iraqis support the presence of coalition troops in Iraq, down from 32 percent in 2005.

Maybe we could send the 26% of the country that still supports Bush's war to Iraq, thereby boosting Iraqi support for the awesomest war ever.
