TOKYO, March 15 (Reuters) - More than two-thirds of Japanese want to
end an air force mission backing up U.S.-led military activities in Iraq this
summer, when the mandate for the mission expires, a newspaper poll said
on Thursday.

Sixty-nine percent of those polled said they wanted the troops pulled out,
while 75 percent said the war had been a mistake, the daily Asahi Shimbun
said.

Japan withdrew its 600 ground troops from southern Iraq last year after a
non-combat reconstruction mission lasting more than two years.

About 200 air force personnel remain in Kuwait, from where they airlift
supplies to the U.S. military, but little is reported on their activities in
domestic media.
