wow, where the hell do you get this shit from?

The State Department conducted a poll last month which found that 9 out of 10 Arab (includes Sunnis and Shiites, but not Kurds) Iraqis "believe the security situation and the violence levels would improve if the U.S. and its allies left immediately."

and you drew your prior conclusion from that poll how? please explain how that "poll" translates into "if you add more troops the situation will get worse" (paraphrase)

Who is the "I" in that statement?

And the fact that Bush is finally changing course.

That is just common logic. If you injest poison and get sick, it would be logical to think that injecting more poison would have any other result but getting you more sick.

If the troops are part of the cause of the violence, then having more troops will cause more violence.

When are people going to understand that this is not a war that can be won with force. If you raise troop levels, the best you can hope for is an ongoing gorilla war will will last decades like the ones in Columbia and Israel and like the one in Vietnam from 1920-1975, which finally ended when the foreign armies left once and for all. You cannot win when the large majority of the population of the country wants you to leave. You will be seen as occupiers for as long as you stay and you will continue to make things worse, not better.

And BTW, the same goes for Afghanistan.
