The Iraqi Polls You Won't See in the MSM, in France, and in Europe…

Here is an ironic finding I brought back from Iraq

says Joe Lieberman, who noticed something that that all-knowing Frenchman, Villepin, somehow managed to omit in the presentation of his deep wisdom on CNN (final paragraph).

While U.S. public opinion polls show serious declines in support for the war and increasing pessimism about how it will end, polls conducted by Iraqis for Iraqi universities show increasing optimism. Two-thirds say they are better off than they were under Saddam, and a resounding 82% are confident their lives in Iraq will be better a year from now than they are today. What a colossal mistake it would be for America's bipartisan political leadership to choose this moment in history to lose its will and, in the famous phrase, to seize defeat from the jaws of the coming victory.
