82% IRAQIS STRONGLY OPPOSE U.S. OCCUPATION
The bombings are accelerating, the number of dead are mounting and the Cheney/Bush administration continues to spin that progress is being made everyday ~ when in actuality the hole keeps getting deeper each day.
Remember, the first law of holes is to stop digging.
Here are legitimate poll numbers from the Telegraph, UK ~ courtesy of The Progressive Review ~ and they reveal that over 82% of Iraqis " strongly oppose " our illegal occupation of their country.

SEAN RAYMENT, TELEGRAPH - Millions of Iraqis believe that suicide attacks against British troops are justified, a secret military poll commissioned by senior officers has revealed.
The poll, undertaken for the Ministry of Defense and seen by The Sunday Telegraph, shows that up to 65 per cent of Iraqi citizens support attacks and fewer than one per cent think Allied military involvement is helping to improve security in their country.
The nationwide survey also suggests that the coalition has lost the battle to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, which Tony Blair and George W Bush believed was fundamental to creating a safe and secure country. . .
The survey was conducted by an Iraqi university research team that, for security reasons, was not told the data it compiled would be used by coalition forces. It reveals:
- Forty-five per cent of Iraqis believe attacks against British and American troops are justified - rising to 65 per cent in the British-controlled Maysan province;
- 82 per cent are "strongly opposed" to the presence of coalition troops;
- less than one per cent of the population believes coalition forces are responsible for any improvement in security;
- 67 per cent of Iraqis feel less secure because of the occupation;
- 43 per cent of Iraqis believe conditions for peace and stability have worsened;
- 72 per cent do not have confidence in the multi-national forces.
