Poll shows majority want UK troops to pull out
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/story.jsp?story=519735

Should British troops pull out of Iraq by 30th June?

55 per cent: YES
28 per cent: NO
17 per cent: DON'T KNOW

Voters support the withdrawal of all British troops from Iraq by the end of next month by a majority of two to one, a poll for The Independent reveals today.

With ministers considering sending more soldiers to Iraq to quell the insurrection against Allied forces, the survey reflects growing public discontent about government policy on the war and occupation.

The poll comes at a turbulent time for the Government, rocked by allegations over the mistreatment of Iraqi captives. Yesterday, in a further embarrassment for Britain and America, it emerged that their ambassadors to Switzerland had been summoned by the Swiss government to demand respect for international law in the treatment of prisoners in Iraq.

In a Parliament Commission, the Chief of the British staff discreetly recognized troubles with Americans in Irak about the led-operations. In reality, the British militaries apprise Blair at any price they don't want to be under US command after 30th June.
