Sure it looks bad, but here’s the amazing news: He’s doing worse with G.I.s in Iraq.

Here’s what I read in the NY Times today:

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.”

“… and tell ’em Big Mitch sent ya!”
