Iraqis Don't Love Us or Our "Freedom"

Aaron Brown on CNN tonight is referring to a poll commissioned by the Coalitional Provisional Authority that shows a majority of Iraqis (more than twice that of a January poll) don't like us, don't trust us, and would feel safer if we went home.

Probably the only relatively large surprise here is that only 29% would like to see al-Sadr made head of the country and that just 30% would like a return to Saddam's rule. Of course, this leaves us wondering what the other 41% want. Combine the 29 and the 30% and you have well over a majority of the country wanting someone to head the country that the U.S. has identified as bad little campers.

I didn't hear any mention of Chalabi in the poll. Cough.
