Not just that, but they refer to the new Democratic control of the congress as evidence that "the vast majority" wants the US out of Iraq. Of course, never mind the fact that the majority was slim, if not very slim. The of course, there is the historical trend of control of congress changing in the sixth year of a two-term president's tenure. I understand that dissatisfaction with the direction of the situation in Iraq is frustrating to many, but they give much more credit to that reason that should be due it. They also don't cite any of these authoritative sources. I'm not saying that they don't exist, just that they did not cite them. The entire site just smacks of hyporbole.
