Extremely Unpopular War

As 2007 Ends, Most Americans Oppose Iraq War

...68 per cent of respondents oppose the U.S. war in Iraq, and 69 per cent call for a withdrawal of all or some U.S. troops from the country.

In addition, 59 per cent of respondents believe neither side is winning the war, 28 per cent think the U.S. and its allies are emerging victorious, and 11 per cent say the insurgents in Iraq are ahead.

I can't recall seeing this last figure in a poll on Iraq; "...11 per cent say the insurgents in Iraq are ahead."

This is going beyond do you want the troops to stay or to come home. One in ten now believe we are losing to the insurgents. From a hawk's point of view this is even worse than simply being opposed to the war's continuation.

Yet on Wednesday the 26th, Bush signed a spending bill that pays for the war well into 2008.
