I don't think it's fair to call the position that we should look at the facts on the ground before withdrawing a "fringe" position based on the data you presented.
For one, in every poll you presented at least a third and usually over 40% of the people support staying in Iraq. A third is hardly fringe.
Secondly, there are probably plenty of people in the withdraw now, in a year or in two years camps who think they HAVE looked at the facts on the ground and that's how they've made their mind up.
The Mara Liasson position is a minority position, but it is certainly not fringe.
Oh, and I think she's wrong. I want us out within 12 months, based on what I consider the facts on the ground.
