Talk:Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Geogre, what you wrote does seem fair. So you are NPOVier than I am. But it seems a bit confused.

I'm interested in:

  • what the candidates said
  • any relevant news articles

...so readers can decide for themselves who was "right". --Uncle Ed 20:57, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)


What a remarkably stupid article. Why does it exist? Bozoid, 4 Oct 2005 21:00 UTC

[edit] Veto?

If vetoed, It goes to the House of Representatives for a passing vote, right?

    • Not exactly, it goes to both houses of Congress, and they will have to overturn the veto with a supermajority (more than a 3/4 approval). YankeeDoodle14 06:06, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Make that 2/3s, sorry. YankeeDoodle14 22:50, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Exit Plans Resource Page

The first footnote is a incorrect. I couldn't find any poll in the reference that said 51% of voters want US troops withdrawn. I even checked to see if perhaps the author rearranged the wording to make the poll look like 51% wanted withdrawal. There is one survey that says 59% of voters would like to withdraw if order cannot be restored eventually. But this is not what is cited. I think the author may have an agenda. Don't have time to edit it now and enter good citation, just thought I'd make a note.
