NYT poll: Opposition to war at all-time high.
So the Dems go totally against the prevailing wisdom and go along to get along...

NYT poll: Opposition to war at all-time high.

“Americans now view the war in Iraq more negatively than at any time since the war began, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. Six in 10 Americans surveyed say the United States should have stayed out of Iraq, and more than three in four say that things are going badly there — including nearly half who say things are going very badly, the poll found.”

A large majority of the public — 76 percent, including a majority of Republicans — say that the additional American troops sent to Iraq this year by Mr. Bush have either had no impact or are making things worse there. Twenty percent think the troop increase is improving the situation in Iraq.

A majority of Americans continue to support a timetable for withdrawal. Sixty-three percent say the United States should set a date for withdrawing troops from Iraq sometime in 2008.

3. Exactly.
That gosh darned growing majority is just a silly fringe group that is way out of touch with the rest of the country.

4. Poll the Iraqis also. They sure would like some
clean water, sewer, power, gas, medical care, eduction for their children, a good nights sleep, food. They are worse off now than before bush invaded. Doesn't that say a lot about george's efforts there? We leave the Iraqis may boot out the Al Quaeda themselves. They want their country back, betcha. Right now they are fighting for their life. They are fighting the insurgents from other countries, each other and us. Give them a break. Or, better yet, get the U.S. out and we pay for the reparations of their country. That would give them jobs that would not be Haliburton connected. They might like us then.

6. My goodness. How can the people so out of tune with their government?
If the people just knew what government knew!
If the people would just trust their government to do the right thing!
How can people be so selfish?!?!?

Please let government do what's best for you.



I slay me

10. Trust "The Commander Guy"! He reads the "intelligence" therefore he is "credible".

7. Time to take to the streets to shut it down.
No more meaningless marches. It's time for direct action. Our government has failed us.

9. All that's needed is more money, more troops, more time...and, we'll win in Vietnam.
Same song, different war, different apologists for continuing the slaughter.
