Last week, Zogby, a highly reliable, non-partisan pollster, released the results of a survey of U.S. military personnel in Iraq. Here are some of the topline findings:
- 72% of U.S. troops think we should pull out within the next year. 30% believe we should leave immediately.
- 42% of U.S. troops serving in Iraq say that their mission is somewhat unclear/very unclear to them, or that they have no understanding of it.
- 85% say they originally thought the mission was to retailiate for Saddam Hussein's role in 9/11.
Margin of error is +/- 3.3 percentage points.
Wow.

No thank you. I'd rather attack from the flank than head-on.
So I guess that margin of error accounts for the 102% of soldiers fighting in Iraq?
The best part of that "town" in Florida is how Jeb got burned in the process of endorsing it -- I think there were attempts to limit who could live there (beyond the self-selection).
Fun fun fun.
