Poll: Most Doubt Dems Have Plan for Iraq

By JIM KUHNHENN

WASHINGTON Nov 14, 2006 (AP)— More Americans rank Iraq as the top priority
of the new Democratic-controlled Congress, but nearly three out of five say
the party does not have a plan to deal with the war.

In the aftermath of an anti-Republican wave, the latest Associated Press-Ipsos
poll showed lingering uncertainty about the country's direction and the ability
of Democrats and President Bush to work together. Underscoring the country's
political divisions, Democrats expressed more confidence and optimism than
Republicans.

The poll was conducted Nov. 10-12 as the public adjusted to Washington's new
division of labor, with President Bush in the White House and Democrats holding
the reins of Congress for the first time in 12 years.

Though voters apparently embraced the Democratic mantra of changing course
in Iraq, a majority of the public did not detect a clear Democratic blueprint
for ending the war. Fifty-seven percent of all adults in the AP-Ipsos poll said
Democrats do not have a plan for Iraq; 29 percent said they do. The poll of 1,002
adults has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

1. This is what the MSM has been telling them

2. Yes, and for the past TWO OR THREE YEARS ...

It's going to take more than a week to disespouse (is that the right word?) them of that idea.

3. Well, they KNOW the Republicans don't have a plan

I guess they are hoping the Democrats just might come up with one. At least we won't be "stay the course."

4. In all honesty, who does?

There is no plan thatdoesn't start with the idea that we need to get out of there...the sooner, the better. eed to get an international body to take over Iraq's short-term security. I can't see how it can work any other way. We probably shouldn't be in this security force, as we really don't have any credibilty with the Iraqi's anymore. Our only role should be paying for the infrastructure repair and restitution to the families for the destruction and miserty we caused by doing this elective war and occupation.
