Man Oh Man........the tune on this site has changed:

*****************************************************

Nearly 60 percent of readers who participated in a recent Military.com poll said the United States should withdraw its troops from Iraq now or by the end of 2008. More than 40 percent of the respondents agreed the pullout should begin immediately because "we're wasting lives and resources there."

A similar number of participants, however, felt that U.S. troops should remain in Iraq, with 41 percent of respondents concluding that America should fight "until the insurgency is totally defeated."

The online poll, conducted over three days starting July 10, was open to all Military.com readers. (Military.com membership was not a requirement to participate.)

More than 5,440 votes were cast in the poll that asked: "When should American troops withdraw from Iraq?"
