State Dept Poll: 75% of Baghdad Residents Want U.S. Out

HeadlineSep 27, 2006

In news from Iraq, a new poll conducted by the State Department has found a strong majority of Iraqis want U.S.-led military forces to withdraw from the country. In Baghdad nearly 75 percent of residents said they would feel safer if the U.S. forces left. 65 percent of Baghdad residents favored an immediate pullout. The poll shows a deep divide between the residents of Iraq and its political leaders. Earlier this week Iraqi president Jalal Talabani called for the United States to permanently keep two air bases inside Iraq.
