Opposition to Iraq war at new high
Tue 9 November, 2004 04:12

LONDON (Reuters) - The public's opposition to the war in Iraq has reached a record high, according to an opinion poll in the Times.

The survey published on Tuesday found 57 percent thought taking military action to oust former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was wrong, compared to 31 percent who supported it.

The same poll in April, 2003, a month after the U.S.-led invasion, found nearly two-thirds of Britons supported the war, compared to 24 percent who thought it was wrong.

Populus questioned 1,504 people over the weekend after three British soldiers died in a suicide bomb attack at a checkpoint near the Sunni Muslim rebel stronghold of Falluja.

2. 57% opposed to the war and they still can't find a way
to get rid of Blair. Amazing and sad.

4. The redeployment of the Black Watch squadron...
... to fill in for US troops heading over to Fallujah has already produced casualties, and will likely continue at a rate higher than what they'd experienced in Southern Iraq.

British opinion is likely to fall further.

10. Too bad we couldn't have let the British vote in our
election! They would have been a big help.
