U.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006

* Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed”
* While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy
* Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown
* Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
* Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation
* Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment

An overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops serving in Iraq think the U.S. should exit the country within the next year, and more than one in four say the troops should leave immediately, a new Le Moyne College/Zogby International survey shows.

5. My husband, who is in Iraq, mentioned a word that starts with "M"
and ends in "utiny". He is not on an island, most of his fellow soldiers feel that way. They know
exactly what is going on and who is reaping the rewards (definitely not them). In my opinion they are
doing enough to stay alive, nothing more.

Obviously I don't have the hard data you are looking for, but I thought you might like anecdotal data, too.
