Poll shows growing doubts that U.S. victory is possible in Iraq war

WASHINGTON — A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows deepening pessimism on Iraq, at the same time that many Americans are reluctant to limit money or troops for the war effort.

Only 28% say the United States will probably or definitely win the war, down from 35% in December and the lowest since the question was first asked in September 2005. The share of those surveyed calling the war a mistake, 59%, is up from 56% last month and the highest since September 2005.

The poll asked about proposals circulating on Capitol Hill as Congress weighs how to exert influence on President Bush's Iraq policy. House Democrats could unveil their plans this week.

Six in 10 people said they want Congress to set a timetable to get all U.S. troops out by the end of 2008. Three-quarters said Congress should require that U.S. troops come home if Iraqi leaders fail to reduce violence there and that U.S. troops have at least a year's break in the USA before being re-deployed to Iraq.

3. And they ought to conduct another poll asking people if they have any idea what "victory" is....

It's a nebulous concept that no one can seem to define.

4. Victory? It's when the President of Al Qaeda signs an unconditional surrender!
