* The occupation of Iraq is losing public support. More and more Americans agree the invasion and occupation of Iraq was a mistake.
: Only 37% of Americans believe the invasion of Iraq was worth it, 54% believe we should withdraw within a year, and only 22% believe the U.S. is sure to win (down from 79% in 2003).
: A CBS poll found 70 per cent of Americans think the result of the war with Iraq was not worth the loss of American life and other costs. 
: 72 percent of veterans favor withdrawal from Iraq within a year. 
: Iraqis want the U.S. to leave and 67% believe they will be better off when the U.S. leaves.
