#1 32 percent said to stabilize the country
26 percent said to finish the rebuilding job
one in 10 [10 percent]said to fight terrorism
3 percent said to protect U.S. national security

*drumroll* So the internals reveal that actually 71% of those questioned see important reasons to remain engaged in Iraq, ie no change since a year ago. Good!

#2 Be careful believing any AP-Ipsos poll. In the 2004 election, they were the only outfit to consistently show Kerry beating Bush. Recently, they got a lot of publicity showing Bush's approval several points lower than any other poll.

Ipsos is French owned and is known to get skewed results preferred by their French patrons. When the US had President Clinton who governed by polls, having a polling outfit that delivers numbers that a foreign government wants is a powerful, yet subtle, method to influence US policy.

#4 Yeah, I heard that on NPR....

Wait, no I didn't! What I heard is that the 'majority of the American public want a timetable for withdrawal.' NPR must be behind in their polling. It'll be out any day now, just you wait....
