and welcome home! i have the greatest respect and admiration for all of our soldiers over there.

here's my question: a new Zogby poll states:


Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed”
While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy

Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown

Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation

Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment

An overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops serving in Iraq think the U.S. should exit the country within the next year, and nearly one in four say the troops should leave immediately, a new Le Moyne College/Zogby International survey shows.


QUESTION: Do these findings reflect how the soldiers you met over there feel, by and large? Do they still believe in a Sadaam- 9/11 connection? How do they feel about the Bush admin pushing for the UAE port deal?

So many questions! I hope you and your family are enjoying your reunion!
