Yep... they say by 32% another source claimed 40%... are you feeling a draft?

But really folks, without another 9/11 type incident It's highly unlikely that the Bush Amin would be able to actualize it... I think they would much rather have the low-level NATO/UN presence, and supply the carpet bombing as "neccesary". They want out, then maybe we'll all stop asking so many "hard" questions. I think the US will find some hackneyed way to claim victory, and get out, leaving "peacekeepers" in charge. I've been calling it the Bosnia warfare model, and I'm skeptical... Iraq isn't Bosnia, and they've been managing to average one dead US soldier a day... Just like they did to the British in the last century.

They'll do it to NATO and UN troops too. 37,000 US casualties over 3 years ought to impress everyone considering it a good idea, that we aren't welcome there. But who really gives a fuck whether some UN peacekeeper from Chad or Fiji gets their head blown off anyway...(dripping sarcasm).
