Iraqi government leaders now say they hope U.S. forces will be able to leave in 2010. The Iraqi announcement, timed to coincide with the visit of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, comes after a week of conflicting statements and a few days after President Bush said he would consider a "general time horizon" for withdrawal of U.S. troops. Our most recent Confidence in U.S. Foreign Policy Index finds attitudes on Iraq aren't as negative as they were last year. Solid majorities nonetheless gave the U.S. poor grades for achieving its objectives and were in favor of pulling out U.S. troops.
