The business of polling Iraqis on key political questions seems absurd to me, given the self-evident truth of the notion that most people

Iraq), so maybe he can help me out with this latest one; some excerpts:“Poll Says Most Iraqis Want U.S. Out
What’s surprising about this poll? They want us out, and the poll
overwhelmingly says that. Six months would be too abrupt, they seem
to think, but 12 is getting to be too many. The Kurds skew the
results downward; exclude them, and the majorities are even bigger.
