And the number who feel success there is likely has shrunk from 83% in 2004 to about 50% today. A surprising 13% say there should be no U.S. troops in Iraq at all. This comes even though only about one in ten called their overall political views "liberal."

The annual mail survey was conducted Nov. 13 through Dec. 22. Among the respondents, two in three have deployed at least once to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Nearly three-quarters of the respondents think today’s military is stretched too thin to be effective.

This seems crystal clear to me. If you are too blinded by your beliefs to acknowledge facts which contradict them, then you are not worth debating.

You said that the troops don't feel Iraq is worth while. You posted a poll that says...
A. about half of those polled think it was a bad idea to go.

B. The President has mismanaged the war.

C. Out of those polled 13% or .013 or 13 out of every 100 think they should bag ass and go.

What is crystal clear is this: You are having difficulty reading normal sized print, let's see if my editing has helped you.

Think of it this way cos. If I give you one dollar, and take away thirteen cents, how much money would you have left? That's how many troops feel Iraq is 'worth while'. According to your poll.
