58% of Adults Want Troops Home from Iraq Within Year

Tuesday, August 05, 2008
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 58% of Americans want the troops brought home from Iraq within a year.
-------------

Politically speaking, one in four Republicans (25%) think the troops should come home within the year, compared to 84% of Democrats. Unaffiliated voters fall somewhere in between, at 57%. While just 13% of Democrats think the troops should stay in Iraq until the mission is complete, 72% of Republicans and just over a third (34%) of unaffiliated voters agree.

U.S. troops may leave Iraq by 2011, Iraqi lawmaker says

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- An Iraqi politician said Thursday that the Iraqi and U.S. governments are close to reaching a deal under which combat troops would leave Iraq by December 2010 and other troops would leave by the end of the next year.

Haider Al-Ababdi, a Shiite parliament member from Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Dawa Party, also told CNN that U.S. troops would leave Iraq's cities to remain inside their bases by June 30, 2009, under the deal.

He said the two governments had been close to reaching deal for about a week.
