72% of U.S. Troops Want Out of Iraq Within One Year

thinkprogress: Bush says pulling out of Iraq would undermine our troops morale:

"It is also important for every American to understand the consequences of pulling out of Iraq before our work is done.... We would undermine the morale of our troops by betraying the cause for which they have sacrificed." [12/18/05] http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/12/20051218-2.html

U.S. troops say they want out of Iraq within a year:

A new poll to be released today shows that U.S. soldiers overwhelmingly want out of Iraq - and soon. The poll is the first of U.S. troops currently serving in Iraq, according to John Zogby, the pollster. Conducted by Zogby International and LeMoyne College, it asked 944 service members, "How long should U.S. troops stay in Iraq?" Only 23 percent backed Mr. Bush's position that they should stay as long as necessary. In contrast, 72 percent said that U.S. troops should be pulled out within one year. Of those, 29 percent said they should withdraw "immediately." [NYT, 2/28/06] Link
