The war, along with the people who deliberately lied us into it and
are
now profiting from it is crap.
The young men and women who do their duty there
are heroic. Each one killed, wounded, or separated
on multiple extended tours from home and family is a national
tragedy.
Screw the war, but honor the troops. It is possible to do both at
once.
People who feel that we must despise the troops because they are
forced
to serve in a bogus war as well as people who feel that we cannot
respect and value the troops without cheering for the
war itself are all wrong.
Deliberately lied? You're turning into a regular krausite!
You seem to forget:
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and
a
threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the

D'oh. The evidence is mounting that Bush had the "intel" evidence
"cooked" to support his positions before he had it passed along to
members of Congress.
In other words, he had the "intel" changed to support his
predisposition to invade Iraq.
There is good coming out of Bush's dirty war. He's a half year into
his term and he's becoming a lame duck. Taht's good for America and
good for the world.
Duh...bull****.
You don't believe Bush is becoming a lame duck?
I don't. According to the most accurate pollster in the last 2
Presidential elections (Rasmussen), Bush's approval rating is still at
49%. Given the margin of error of the poll, that means that he continues
to have the support of almost the exact same number of people who voted
for him last November. Nothing has changed. He was a strong political
ally to politicians in elections all over the country in November...and
will continue to be an important ally for those who are up for reelection
in 2006.
His rating now is what it was right before the election, which he won,
right?
Most legit polls show a five to seven point drop in Bush's job
favorability rating since just before the election. Then, he was about
49%. Now, he is around 42%.
According to Rasmussen:
Bush's approval rating was 52% on election day. It's at 49% now...and has
bounced around between 48 and 51% in the last week. Given the margin of
error, he's statistically where he was at when he won the general election
with 62 million votes last November.
I don't know where you're getting 42% from? Zogby? Gallup has it at 47%
and Washington Post/ABC has it at 48%.
As the midterm election nears, and that approval rating hovers near the same
number it was at in 11/04, the Republican candidates will fall into line
when they begin to remember that those numbers were good enough for Bush to
beat his opponent by 3 million votes...*and* coat-tail other Republicans
into a larger majority in the House and Senate.
