actually i wasn't being disingenious Cactus. I was basing my judgement on several questions, which included - whether Iraqi's felt "liberated" by the US, (four in five sunni/shias thought no, whilst more Kurds thought yes) and whether they trusted their security on the US/CPA or Iraqi people (a majority of Iraqis across the board thought no).
It's called ANALYSIS cactus.
Moreover, i am more confident now that Iraqi's (at least Sunnis/Shias) want the US out IMMEDIATELY than before, because of the apparent anarchy revealed in the Shia areas and REVOLT against British authorities in Basra. This included a Shia judge inssuing a warrant of arrest for two british SAS soldiers - something instantly rejected by the British .
The Sunni area is in anarchy, and the Shia area is rapidly going that way. So yes, wide areas are in revolt, and the insurgency is gathering pace. Facts on the ground as you might say.
Moreover, i do not expect the elected body to call for withdrawal, considering:
a) the sunni members refuse to cooperate with it
b) the shia's are fast engaged in turning Iraq into a theocracy
c) It's President is the Kurd Jalal Talabani who recently wrote a pathetic and sychofantic article in the Wall Street Journal calling on the coalition to stay and blamed the entire insurgency on foreign nationals (reality check mr talabani)
d) and vast swathes of the governing authority is made up of hand picked members of the Iraqi-opposition in exile during the 90s, who owe their entire presence in Iraq (much like Hamed Karzai in Afghanistan), to the United States.And no I am not calling for an immediate withdrawal. I'm just commenting on the mess made by the US, and the "quick sand" they are unctonrllably being sucked into. This is a mess. And how anyone, at this point can possibly think the war was a good idea, seriosuly needs their head checking.
