Duff: I also believe we SHOULD pull out in a year. SHOULD pull out does not equal "we should have never gone there" or "we don't support the president" or "this war is BS". But thanks for bringing up another great example of the left wing media twisting around a poll to make it mean what they want it to mean.
Just to further echo what Chris and I are saying some quotes from the first link to Zogby's poll.
David Segal, a military sociologist at the University of Maryland, said that while most service members were more conservative than society as a whole, it wasn't surprising to see them reflect attitudes similar to civilians, who increasingly oppose the war.
Those views aren't necessarily an indication that troops are losing faith in the war, Segal said.
"One could argue that troops are saying, `Hey, we've accomplished a great deal. It's time to get out,' which is what you hear a lot of people in Washington saying," he said.
So you cannot equate pulling some or a majority of our troops out of Iraq with not supporting the mission there.
