Poll: Removing Saddam Not Worth the Cost
A new poll released last night shows that an increasing number of voters believe that removing Saddam Hussein from power was not worth the cost, either in dollars or casualties.
The NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found that 42 percent of registered voters say it was worth the cost to get rid of Saddam and 47 percent felt it was not worth it. An NBC-WSJ poll as recently as March found 50 percent of adults felt it was worth the cost to remove the Iraqi leader....More than half, 55 percent, said they favor withdrawing U.S. troops within 18 months. The number willing to say troops should stay as long as necessary has fallen to 44 percent from 56 percent in January.
