for baldfaced slanting of a news item, check out this AP "analysis" of a poll result:

Poll: Americans See No Easy Iraq Exit By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: December 8, 2006

... Americans are not necessarily intent on getting all U.S. troops out right away, the poll indicated. The survey found strong support for a two-year timetable if that's what it takes to get U.S. troops out. Seventy-one percent said they would favor a two-year timeline from now until sometime in 2008. When people are asked instead about a six-month timeline for withdrawal that number drops to 60 percent. <end quote>

"not necessarily"? "drops to 60 percent"?

so, i'm not keeping track but has a single demofuckingcratic politician called for troops out in 6 months?
