Actually, the 12% is correct.

It is based on question 13 and the follow-up question 14 (which was only asked of the 38 percent who answered "Decreased" to question 13.

To make it clear: 38% said the number of US military forces in Iraq should be decreased. Of these, 34% said they should be withdrawn immediately. 34% of 38 is about 12% (actually nearer to 13%).

So calm down, folks!

Bush is still a liar, of course. And personally I think the US should withdraw immediately. But the Post isn't doing a Jeff Gannon on this one.
