Why Are Americans Surprised By New Poll From Iraq?

The TV and radio pundits (& bloggers) have been going on & on over the last couple of days about a new poll out of Iraq that suggests the citizens of that country want U.S. troops out soon, and don't mind supporting the cut throats who are battling U.S. forces there. It suggests that U.S. troops have lost the support of the Iraqi people in general. The Moderate Voice is also following this story.

The big money pundits (who are supposed to be experts), and the bloggers have been eating this story up. I just heard one pundit this evening (I forgot the network....seen one you've seen them all) who stated that he was "shocked" about the new survey out of Iraq. Are these people providing news or entertainment? (If you have seen my writings, then you know my answer).
These Playdo news organizations have to create ratings for themselves and need something to talk about.

I say.... If they had been paying attention all along and if they had not started studying the Middle East and Iraq for the first time on Sept. 12th, 2001, then they would have known that this has been the sentiment in Iraq for quite some time.... in fact, this has been the public sentiment in Iraq for most of the conflict.

Two separate major studies/surveys from 2 years ago said practically the same thing. Americans seem to have very short memories.
One Report was done by The Gallup organization, and the other was sponsored by the U.S. government. Several other surveys have also been conducted since these major 2004 reports.

See reports from 2004 here and here.

So there is nothing new from this latest report.
Americans are all riled up because of the mid-term elections (more like the mid-term ceremonies) in November.
