What's at question is not whether the majority of Americans want to withdraw, but whether Bush will respond to this public mandate.
These number are of course not irrelevant to Bush and his advisors. I'm sure he "considers" them carefully. But, numbers alone won't stop him. Until Congress takes a stand and poeple are in the streets, this administration will continue to look to escalating the war in Iraq and expanding it to beyond the borders of the country.
