12% Say US Troop Withdrawal Will Stop Terror Attacks

Looks as though "Momma" Sheehan doesn't even have a respectable minority that agree with "her" stance on Iraq.

August 26, 2005--Just 12% of Americans believe that withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq will stop terror attacks like the summer bombings in London. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 71% disagree and say that troop withdrawal will not lead to an end of terrorist attacks.

The survey also found that 54% of Americans believe the situation will get worse in Iraq if U.S. troops are withdrawn. Twenty percent (20%) believe the situation will get better in Iraq if American troops leave, while 15% believe that bringing home the troops will have no impact.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of men believe a troop withdrawal will make the situation worse. That view is shared by 48% of women.

There is a sharp partisan difference on this question. By a 4-to-1 margin, both Republicans and those not affiliated with either major party say that the situation will get worse in Iraq if U.S. troops are withdrawn.

Pretty low percentage considering that at least 12% of the population believe they have been abducted by aliens.

1 Rusty: Pretty low percentage considering that at least 12% of the population believe they have been abducted by aliens. To quote the great Norm Crosby: "I resemble that remark!" (Abducted by Aryan-looking aliens in 1976.) The way they get you is to wait until you lie down for a late afternoon nap with a hangover.

4 Could this mean the same 12% thinks the terrorists are aliens?

5 no the people who believe the terrorists are aliens dont necessarily believe that withdrawing from iraq will make them return to their home planet. they believe the terrorists are here to colonize the earth, and on that level, we have a fundamental agreement. ps hi keith
