   You provided a link to a propagandist web site that doesn't offer a clear   
   picture of what questions were answered, nor in what context. If the   
   question were posed "Do you wish to stay in Iraq for the rest of your life,   
   and never go home", then of course the answers would be predominantly (if   
   not unanimously) "no". However, there is no plan on staying in Iraq forever,   
   so that's a moot point. The question should be WHEN do we leave, and under   
   what conditions. Wars don't always go perfectly, and even though there is   
   extensive planning before major operations, they can't be run on a schedule   
   like an airline. However, the left DOES have a schedule, and that is to pull   
   out as soon as possible before the 2008 elections. Again, the left is   
   pushing what works for their own political agenda, as opposed to what is   
   good for the country.

   Tell me why many troops keep re-enlisting and ask/volunteer to go back to   
   Iraq. Can you explain that away?

   Not only was I not a draft-dodger, but I was too young to serve in the   
   military before the Vietnam war ended. I did enlist in the US Air Force when   
   I was 20, and served 6 years between active duty and reserve commitments.   
   What other erroneous assumptions can I straighen out for you, Mister   
   "Professional Researcher"?

   So we should now leave because everyone has decided to call it a "civil war"   
   instead?

   Nothing? Tell us how many large-scale terrorist attacks have occurred on US   
   soil in the last 5 years.

   Never fails with Lefty Liberals - all you have to do is engage them in   
   discussion for long enough before their anti-Semitism comes to the surface.
