Americans STILL Want a Timetable for Withdrawal

USA Today:....A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday found essentially no shift in views on whether U.S. forces are likely to win the war — two-thirds predict they won't — and if the United States should set a firm timetable to remove troops.

In the days before Petraeus' appearances and President Bush's speech to the nation last week, 60% supported setting a timetable for withdrawal and sticking to it "regardless of what is going on in Iraq at the time."

Now 59% do....

No matter what Bush, Petraeus, and/or Republican right wingers say, Americans want the war over now. Our men and women are dying in Iraq, or returning home with lost limbs, and changed lives. Republican Rep. John Boehner may think that the blood of Americans is a "small price to pay" for Bush's Iraq war, but it is time to bring our military home.

Those members of the House and the Senate who refuse to support a timetable for withdrawal should go on record for the world to see.
