This is arguably good news, the American pubic (yours truly included) is tired of having their tax dollars burt in the Afghan pit and seeing their kids come home mangled while the Afghan elite line their pockets with our money.
Who knows, if his excellency Karzai stalls some more the zero option will gain a voice in Washington DC.
original article by cnn here, excerpts below:
Just 17% of those questioned say they support the 12-year-long war, down from 52% in December 2008. Opposition to the conflict now stands at 82%, up from 46% five years ago.
"Those numbers show the war in Afghanistan with far less support than other conflicts," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "Opposition to the Iraq war never got higher than 69% in CNN polling while U.S. troops were in that country, and while the Vietnam War was in progress, no more than six in 10 ever told Gallup's interviewers that war was a mistake."
