65% of seniors say the war has not been worth the cost. That compares to 57% of the general pop.

"So many boys killed or maimed…. I just don't think they've done well," Don Anderson, 77, said of Republicans as he discussed the election outside the Save-A-Lot grocery store in downtown Batesville last week.

...91-year-old Vivian Little, who did not vote for either presidential candidate two years ago but will cast her vote for Democratic congressional candidate Baron Hill on Tuesday.

"I'm so worried about what's happening over there to our boys," she said, referring to Iraq.

"Seniors are desperate for a new direction in Iraq," said Greenberg, a pollster, and Carville, former advisor to President Clinton. They urged Democrats to keep the focus on the war, which they said "drives seniors' growing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs."

"What are these young men dying for? It's a sad joke," said Tom McClure, 64, a former registered Republican who was sourly reviewing the day's headlines over breakfast last week. "I'm in a mood to vote straight Democratic this year."

1. The title of your post sucks.....

You do a great disservice to those that fought for America in WWII with your title.

BTW, the war wasn't and isn't worth the cost of so many American, British and Iraqi lives.

[Rose Siding]

I see your point. Using Bush-speak without identifying it as such

could be confusing. I've edited it. Thanks.

3. I knew the second I read it what the poster meant

And I know the poster is a rabid fan of those who fought in WWII and a great supporter of our troops.

Its just like a republican suggesting that Senator Kerry said our troops were poorly educated when he did not.
