What makes the recent criticism (by retired US generals) more threatening to the Bush administration is the sense that it represents an unspoken strain of thought among active-duty personnel.

A poll of 944 troops serving in Iraq released by Zogby International and LeMoyne College did not ask about Rumsfeld but found that 72 percent think the United States should withdraw within a year and more than a quarter think it should leave immediately.

"That and other questions lead to the obvious conclusion that they're not sure they're doing anything positive over there anymore," said pollster John Zogby. "When it comes to the leadership, there seems to be a disconnect."
