Americans Say Iraq Situation on Wrong Track

General Wesley Clark, retired four-star Army general, Supreme Allied Commander of NATO from 1997 to 2000 and 2004 Democratic nominee candidate for the presidency, testified today before the House Armed Services Committee about the situation in Iraq.

He brought with him to Congress the results of a survey he did of the American public. The survey results are not scientific, but the 20,000 responses are still quite relevant and interesting.

- "Nearly 9 out of 10 respondents believe that things in Iraq are on the wrong track
- More than 4 out of 5 respondents believe that the U.S. should not continue to stay in Iraq, especially if it leads to another 1500 American deaths
- More than 4 out of 5 respondents believe that we should not take military action against Syria
- About 3 out of 5 respondents believe that the U.S. should not demand military access to Pakistan
- An overwhelming majority -- more than 95% of respondents -- believe Congress should demand an investigation into how policymakers used intelligence in the run-up to Iraq "
