Iraq poll finds that insurgents 3 times more popular than occupation force

Iraq News Is Bleak, Even for Pentagon's 'Early Bird'
by Jim Lobe
Excerpt:


The Globe also wrote about a recent internal poll that found that nearly 45 percent of the Iraqi population supports the insurgent attacks, while only 15 percent of those polled said they strongly supported the U.S.-led coalition. So much for the notion, so eagerly embraced by senior administration officials, that an elected government would automatically translate into opposition to the insurgency.

2. What? Those ungrateful freedom hating bastards!

That proves that Iraq is to blame for 9/11 and that they support terrorism.

How? Read the last sentence over and over again and you'll begin to believe it eventually.

3. I suspect it's even higher.

What with the U.S. secret police going around and rounding people up in the middle of the night and everything, who's going to trust responding accurately to a poll?

That's like Stalin conducting a poll of the Soviet people about how they feel about him, versus the Americans.
