Iraqis want coalition troops out now Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,9612232%255E1702,00.html http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,9612232%255E1702,00.html Iraqis want coalition troops out: poll From correspondents in London 20may04 A POLL of Iraqi people has shown that more than half of them now want the US-led coalition troops to leave their country, while most regard the military presence as an occupying force, a British newspaper reported today. The poll was conducted by the year-old Iraq Centre for Research and Strategic Studies, a group considered reliable enough for coalition officials to have submitted questions for inclusion in the poll, the Financial Times said. According to the findings of the survey of 1600 Shia and Sunni Arabs and Kurds, not formally released until next week, more than half the population want coalition troops out of Iraq, the poll's organisers told the newspaper. This compares with a figure of only about 20 per cent in a poll taken last October, the paper said, adding that the latest survey was taken before the scandal emerged of the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US troops. Also, 88 per cent of respondents saw coalition troops in Iraq as occupiers, while about two-thirds supported radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr, a noted foe of US-led forces. "Iraqis always contrast American actions with American promises and there's now a wide gap in credibility," Saadoun Duleimi, the head of the centre, told the paper. © The Australian
