Majority of Americans Doubt Bush's WMD Claims:
Support for President Bush Drops to 50 Percent in Latest Post-ABC News

Poll

By Richard Morin and Dana Milbank
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, February 13, 2004; 7:32 PM

Most Americans believe President Bush either lied or deliberately
exaggerated evidence that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction in
order to justify war, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The survey results, which also show declining support for the war in
Iraq and for Bush's leadership in general, indicate the public is
increasingly questioning the president's truthfulness -- a concern for
Bush's political advisers as his reelection bid gets underway.

Barely half -- 52 percent -- now believe Bush is "honest and
trustworthy," down seven points since late October and his worst showing
since the question was first asked in March 1999. At his best, in the
summer of 2002, Bush was viewed as honest by 71 percent. The survey
found that while nearly seven in 10 think Bush "honestly believed" Iraq
had weapons of mass destruction, 54 percent thought Bush exaggerated or
lied about pre-war intelligence.

Honesty and credibility have been central to Bush's appeal since the
2000 campaign, when he benefited from disgust over President Bill
Clinton's lies about the Lewinsky affair and when Bush's campaign
accused Al Gore of "saying one thing and doing another." But a number of
factors, including the failure to find unconventional weapons in Iraq
and the administration's underestimating of its Medicare prescription
drug plan's costs appear to have undermined perceptions of his

credibility.

Bush's possible Democratic opponent, Sen. John Kerry (Mass.), has begun
to talk about a "credibility gap." Even some Bush allies say they have
been misled about Iraq's weapons, and the current Time magazine cover
story asks: "Believe him or not -- does Bush have a credibility gap?"

Questions about Bush's use of pre-war intelligence, in addition to
feeding doubts about his honesty, have sent his job rating plummeting.
Fifty percent of Americans approve of the job he is doing, the lowest
level of his presidency in the Post-ABC poll and down 8 percentage
points from January. The survey found that, for the first time since the
war ended, fewer than half of Americans -- 48 percent -- believe the war
was worth fighting, down 8 points from last month. Fifty percent said
the war was not worth it.

These doubts have affected Bush's reelection prospects. In a
head-to-head matchup, Kerry beat Bush, 52 percent to 43 percent, among
registered voters polled by the Post. Bush had more passionate support
-- 85 percent of his backers said their support was strong while 62
percent of Kerry supporters said so -- and retains an advantage over
Kerry in dealing with Iraq and the war on terrorism. But the Democrat
was seen as better able to handle the economy and jobs, education and
health care -- all top issues with voters this year.

*The survey found a steep drop in public perceptions of Bush as a
president and as an individual. In a sign that Bush has been set back by
recent controversies over Iraqi weapons, his National Guard record and
the federal budget, the number of Americans viewing him as a "strong
leader" has slipped to 61 percent, down 6 points from December and the
lowest level since the 2001 terrorist attacks.*

Bush's rating on handling the economy stood at 44 percent, down 7
percentage points, with nearly half of the public saying they are worse
off now than they were three years ago when Bush became president. Six
in 10 disapprove of the job Bush is doing creating jobs. On education,
47 percent said they approve of the job Bush is doing, down 8 points
from January. And his handling of health care also has fallen.

*But the president's declining ratings related to Iraq were most
striking. Approval of his handling of the situation there has fallen to
47 percent, down eight points in the past three weeks. About half of
Americans -- 51 percent -- said they would prefer a report evaluating
the accuracy and use of pre-war intelligence before the election, while
35 percent favor what Bush has ordered: a broader study of the overall
accuracy of U.S. intelligence gathering operations that reports its
findings after the election.*

While 21 percent believe Bush lied about the threat posed by Iraq, a
larger number -- 31 percent -- thought he exaggerated but did not lie.
Indeed, six in 10 Americans believed, as Bush did, that Iraq had such
weapons.

Three in four Democrats said Bush either lied or exaggerated about what
was known about Iraqi's weapons while an equally large majority of
Republicans said the president did neither. Slightly more than half of
all independents believed Bush had mislead the public about Iraqi's
weapons cache.

"I think he was believing what he wanted to believe," said one
respondent, Ron Perholtz, an accountant from Jupiter, Fla. "I can't say
he's dishonest. He heard what he wanted to hear. He's manipulatable by
[Vice President] Cheney and others."

Many respondents expressed regrets about the Iraq war. For example, Mike
Richcreek, 52, of Warner Robbins, Ga., believes Bush neither exaggerated
nor lied. "He went by what the intelligence given to him showed,"
Richcreek said. But, at the same time, Richcreek said he has begun to
doubt the merits of the war.

"I'm not sure now we should have gone to war in the first place," he
said. "You think of all of our young kids getting killed. That's a
problem. I'm glad I didn't have to make the decision."

A total of 1,003 randomly selected adults were interviewed Feb 10 to 11.
The margin of sampling error for the overall results is plus or minus 3
percentage points.

Post assistant polling director Claudia Deane contributed to this report.

I am sure you are spot-on. It is going to be a dirty campaign.
Fortunately, Bush's abysmal record as President will be the key issue,
that and his "distortions" of the truth on real issues. I saw a great ad
on TV tonight...a simulated polygraph test with the needles jumping as
Bush's voiceover told one whopper after another.

I am hopeful we will be rid of Bush this time next year, and that the
country can heal its wounds and restore its reputation around the world.

Why harp on Bush's record and not on what the Democratic candidate is going
to do to cut excess spending, turn around the econmy and not tax the
population for the rest of the money the Congress that, which has increased
the tax rate from about 20% in 1950 to maybe 45% now, taken? Kerry is
another Bob Dole. career Senator, who is not executive material. Another
**** poor choice of candidates year! Harry, why not as a party flak and
activist, get some decent candidates for us to choose from? If we choose
someone as incompetant as Kerry just to replace Bush, we may be in even
bigger trouble than at present! You may be happy as your union brothers get
more contracts and you keep overcharging for poor writing, but the rest of
us get screwed!

Kerry will talk about how he wants to cut spending, turn around the
economy, and balance the budget. Since Bush is running up enormous
deficits with nothing to show for it, those aspects of Kerry's campaign
should interest you.


Kerry needs to change the "wants to" to "will" in the above paragraph. The
problem with all politicians is that they keep telling us what they are
going to do, if you tell me you are going to do it you had better do it.
Presidential candidates that are current or former Governors have a recent
track record to judge their executive actions upon. Senators are just a
bunch of people sitting around pondering their next begging for dollars
speech.

The funny thing is, that's no more true than any of the rest of it. GW Bush has
always had a high sense of his own importance, even as a kid. I know a bunch of
people who have met him. The ones who knew him 'way back when say he was an
obnoxious drunk (or worse), not one says he is a genuinely nice guy in person.
However he does have the ability to seem like a nice guy... apparently that's
worth a heck of a lot.

I have some relatives who live up near Boston, they are not Kerry fans (but
hint that they still consider him better than Bush).

Kerry can say the Moon is Green cheese and Mar's is red because it is a
large Gouda ball. Talk and spin can cost us a lot of money, as well as
being cheap. No sound bites, I want to know what he is going to do to turn
around the US! As to executive ability, he probably ranks above Gen. Clark
and below all the other candidates. In is years in the Senate, I do not see
any sign of leadership. What bills has he introduced under his name?

Iraq never was a threat to the US. Not immediate nor long term. Iraq was
only a threat to Israel.
The US was more than likely duped into war but being mislead by Israel
intelligence. They were the only ones to gain security by fighting their
war with US troops and not paying a penny for it.

He may very well *be* a traitor, but not for his anti-Vietnam War stance.
If the following is true, the scumbag is back-dooring the President on

Iranian News Agency Alleges Presidential Candidate John Kerry Sends
Email Message

According to an article published in the Tehran Times, the office of
U.S. Senator and leading Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry sent
an email message to the Mehr News Agency . The following is the article as
it appeared in English : [1]

"The office of Senator John Kerry, the frontrunner in the Democratic
presidential primary in the U.S., sent the Mehr News Agency an email saying
that Kerry will try to repair the damage done by the incumbent president if
he wins the election. The text of the e-mail follows:

"'As Americans who have lived and worked extensively overseas, we have
personally witnessed the high regard with which people around the world have
historically viewed the United States. Sadly, we are also painfully aware of
how the actions and the attitudes demonstrated by the U.S. government over
the past three years have threatened the goodwill earned by presidents of
both parties over many decades and put many of our international
relationships at risk.

"'It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United States to
restore our country's credibility in the eyes of the world. America needs
the kind of leadership that will repair alliances with countries on every
continent that have been so damaged in the past few years, as well as build
new friendships and overcome tensions with others.

"'We are convinced that John Kerry is the candidate best qualified to
meet this challenge. Senator Kerry has the diplomatic skill and temperament
as well as a lifetime of accomplishments in [the] field of international
affairs. He believes that collaboration with other countries is crucial to
efforts to win the war on terror and make America safer.

"'An understanding of global affairs is essential in these times, and
central to this campaign. Kerry has the experience and the understanding
necessary to successfully restore the United States to its position of
respect within the community of nations. He has the judgment and vision
necessary to assure that the United States fulfills a leadership role in
meeting the challenges we face throughout the world.

"'The current Administration's policies of unilateralism and rejection
of important international initiatives, from the Kyoto Accords to the
Biological Weapons Convention, have alienated much of the world and
squandered remarkable reserves of support after 9/11. This climate of
hostility affects us all, but most especially impacts those who reside
overseas. Disappointment with current U.S. leadership is widespread,
extending not just to the corridors of power and politics, but to the man
and woman on the street as well.

"'We believe John Kerry is the Democrat who can go toe-to-toe against
the current Administration on national security and defense issues. We also
remain convinced that John Kerry has the best chance of beating the
incumbent in November, and putting America on a new course that will lead to
a safer, more secure, and more stable world.'"

the judiciary, and he still can't or won't deliver on his most important
pre-appointment pledges.




Back to my first question. What is Kerry going to do? Not Bush is bad, I
will be better. Why will he be better? Forget the Harry spinmeister
machine. What and Why are the questions that require answers!!!


Here are just SOME of Kerry's ideas:


The first thing John Kerry will do is fight his heart out to bring
back the three million jobs that have been lost under George W. Bush.
He will fight to restore the jobs lost under Bush in the first 500
days of his administration. Kerry has proposed creating jobs through a
new manufacturing jobs credit, by investing in new energy industries,
restoring technology, and stopping layoffs in education.

John Kerry believes that we need to invest in our schools instead of
giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. He has the courage to
fight for our children's future every day. When it comes to education,
George W. Bush has been the photo-op President. He stands next to
children and teachers for a picture, but he doesn't stand with them
when it comes to improving our public schools. By signing the No
Child Left Behind Act and then breaking his promise by not giving
schools the resources to help meet new standards, George Bush has
undermined public education and left millions of children behind.

As President, John Kerry will roll up his sleeves and get things done
for America's schools.
It's time to stop sending new mandates from Washington to school
districts without providing the necessary resources needed to carry
out those new rules. That's why John Kerry is proposing a new
‘Education Trust Fund' that means fully funding education, no
questions asked

Affordable Health Care for Every American
John Kerry believes that your family's health is just as important as
any politician's in Washington. That's why he will give every
American access to the health care plan that the President and Members
of Congress already have. John Kerry has the courage to take on
special interests to get health care costs under control. He will
stand up to big insurance and drug companies that impede progress.
And John Kerry's health care plan takes care of our most vulnerable
citizens by covering every child and preserving and strengthening
Medicare.

Cleaner and Greener America
Throughout his career, John Kerry has been a top leader on the
environment, fighting to clean up toxic waste sites, to keep our air
and water clean, and to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
and other pristine wilderness areas. In addition to supporting
important environmental initiatives, John Kerry has turned a spotlight
on the Bush Administration's rollbacks of our hard-won environmental
gains and their outdated, old-economy notions that our environment
must be sacrificed in the name of short-term profit. John Kerry has
the courage to take on the polluters that are trying to gut our clean
air and water laws. John Kerry has the vision to create a new
Manhattan Project to make America independent of Middle East oil in 10
years by creating alternative fuels like ethanol and making cars more
efficient. We'll create half a million new jobs here at home at the
same time – and we'll never have to send our sons and daughters to war
for Mideast oil.

Native Americans for Kerry
John Kerry is the only candidate with a comprehensive agenda to
improve the lives of Native Americans. Kerry will work every day to
promote tribal sovereignty. While there are a number of successes in
Indian Country, in these times of economic hardship – worsened by the
policies of the Bush Administration – Kerry recognizes that the
Federal government must partner with tribes to improve access to
health care, provide more educational opportunities, and strengthen
economic development efforts.

Technology Plan to Create Jobs and Empower Americans to Lead in the
21st Century
Technology has the potential to empower Americans by creating new high
quality jobs, making America more competitive, and improving the
quality of life. However, to realize this potential, we need a
government committed to encouraging innovation and the widespread
deployment of technology.
We are currently in a jobless recovery and it is not clear where the
next round of high-wage jobs will come from. More than 425,000
technology jobs have been lost on President Bush's watch. We need a
President who is committed to bolstering technology and ensuring that
growth in these industries leads to job creation, widespread economic
growth and prosperity, and democratic involvement. Kerry's five point
technology plan will:

Encourage innovation to create high paying jobs.
Assure America has cutting edge technology for the future.
Make America more competitive by strengthening our markets.
Train a workforce prepared for the jobs of the 21st century.
Using technology to improve quality of life.

I hope you're taking the moral high road and are condemning *both* sides for
acts that could be considered treasonous. If Reagan's people did as your
links suggest, that's treason. If Kerry's office sent a letter to Iran and
is effectively undermining the efforts of our soldiers, then he's a scumbag
and should be shot.

Charlie Rangel likes to say "nobody got killed killed when Clinton lied".
Well, nobody got killed if Reagan delayed the hostage's return. Men *are*
getting killed if Kerry is stoking the fires in Iran, and causing the
Iranian intelligence agency to incite continued attacks on our troops.

I would agree, but reading the email from Kerry's *office*, it looks to me

nothing but a piece of spam. Frankly, I don't think an email sent to a
foreign news agency is the channel of choice for a potential treasonous
act.

It's Kerry's intent to rally the World community around his campaign...even
at the cost of undermining our current President while troops are in harm's
way.

If you want to solicit the support of Americans, I can see how it's
acceptable. But soliciting the World community, when it's clearly illegal
for a foreign person or country to donate financially to a Presidential
candidate, is just plain wrong. Perhaps Kerry thinks they'll illegally
channel money into that campaign-finance-reform loophole that goes by the
name of "moveon.org"?

I think you are jumping the gun. We do not know Kerry's intent. Kerry
didn't write the email. At most it was written by someone in his office.

Personally, I thought the email was looking for American absentee votes,
not money. ("As Americans who have lived and worked extensively
overseas,") I could be wrong, perhaps we will here from the Kerry office
about the email.

Uh, Bush is in the White House and controls both houses of congress

and
the judiciary, and he still can't or won't deliver on his most

important
pre-appointment pledges.




Back to my first question. What is Kerry going to do? Not Bush is bad,

I
will be better. Why will he be better? Forget the Harry spinmeister
machine. What and Why are the questions that require answers!!!



Lots of fluff here. What are the concrete steps?


Here are just SOME of Kerry's ideas:


The first thing John Kerry will do is fight his heart out to bring
back the three million jobs that have been lost under George W. Bush.
He will fight to restore the jobs lost under Bush in the first 500
days of his administration. Kerry has proposed creating jobs through a
new manufacturing jobs credit, by investing in new energy industries,
restoring technology, and stopping layoffs in education.


The millions of jobs were already dying under the last President. Federal
Reserve did a lot to encourage the loss by not controlling a runaway stock
market. Sort of a baby 1928.


John Kerry believes that we need to invest in our schools instead of
giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. He has the courage to
fight for our children's future every day. When it comes to education,
George W. Bush has been the photo-op President. He stands next to
children and teachers for a picture, but he doesn't stand with them
when it comes to improving our public schools. By signing the No
Child Left Behind Act and then breaking his promise by not giving
schools the resources to help meet new standards, George Bush has
undermined public education and left millions of children behind.

As President, John Kerry will roll up his sleeves and get things done
for America's schools.
It's time to stop sending new mandates from Washington to school
districts without providing the necessary resources needed to carry
out those new rules. That's why John Kerry is proposing a new
'Education Trust Fund' that means fully funding education, no
questions asked


Fully fund what? We spend 50% of our state budget in California for
education and we still get illiterates graduating. We need to require
results from our educators! We have an education industry that sucks up
BILLIONS with no accountability! Example. There used to be different
levels of English depending on whether the student was College Prep, or not.
Now the education industry requires all students take the same class.
College bound, or learning disability, same class. So you get near total
failure of results. Something like 50% of entering college students require
remediation in English as well as other studies. You just going to throw
money at the problem? We've done that for a bunch of years and has not
worked yet. Do we just need more time and money?



Affordable Health Care for Every American
John Kerry believes that your family's health is just as important as
any politician's in Washington. That's why he will give every
American access to the health care plan that the President and Members
of Congress already have. John Kerry has the courage to take on
special interests to get health care costs under control. He will
stand up to big insurance and drug companies that impede progress.
And John Kerry's health care plan takes care of our most vulnerable
citizens by covering every child and preserving and strengthening
Medicare.


And we are going to be all healthy and eat a Big Mac, and no health care.
Only a small percentage of the people in this country do not have insurance
through self paid or employer. You going to trash the whole system because
of a small amount of people? And due to state welfare, all the children and
adults get healthcare now.

Cleaner and Greener America
Throughout his career, John Kerry has been a top leader on the
environment, fighting to clean up toxic waste sites, to keep our air
and water clean, and to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
and other pristine wilderness areas. In addition to supporting
important environmental initiatives, John Kerry has turned a spotlight
on the Bush Administration's rollbacks of our hard-won environmental
gains and their outdated, old-economy notions that our environment
must be sacrificed in the name of short-term profit. John Kerry has
the courage to take on the polluters that are trying to gut our clean
air and water laws. John Kerry has the vision to create a new
Manhattan Project to make America independent of Middle East oil in 10
years by creating alternative fuels like ethanol and making cars more
efficient. We'll create half a million new jobs here at home at the
same time - and we'll never have to send our sons and daughters to war
for Mideast oil.


First ANWAR is not pristine. A few towns, old military bases, etc. in the
area. I think creating a new Manhatten project for energy is good. But are
you going to complain when some big business such as Exxon or ChevronTexaco
get a piece of the pie?


Native Americans for Kerry
John Kerry is the only candidate with a comprehensive agenda to
improve the lives of Native Americans. Kerry will work every day to
promote tribal sovereignty. While there are a number of successes in
Indian Country, in these times of economic hardship - worsened by the
policies of the Bush Administration - Kerry recognizes that the
Federal government must partner with tribes to improve access to
health care, provide more educational opportunities, and strengthen
economic development efforts.


Better look at the education programs the Native Americans have had access
to for years. They are soverign nations. They have casinos on there land
here in California and other places that the rest of us can not run. So let
those rich soverign nations help their poor soverign nations brothers.

Technology Plan to Create Jobs and Empower Americans to Lead in the
21st Century
Technology has the potential to empower Americans by creating new high
quality jobs, making America more competitive, and improving the
quality of life. However, to realize this potential, we need a
government committed to encouraging innovation and the widespread
deployment of technology.
We are currently in a jobless recovery and it is not clear where the
next round of high-wage jobs will come from. More than 425,000
technology jobs have been lost on President Bush's watch. We need a
President who is committed to bolstering technology and ensuring that
growth in these industries leads to job creation, widespread economic
growth and prosperity, and democratic involvement. Kerry's five point
technology plan will:

Encourage innovation to create high paying jobs.
Assure America has cutting edge technology for the future.
Make America more competitive by strengthening our markets.
Train a workforce prepared for the jobs of the 21st century.
Using technology to improve quality of life.



We do that now. What is Kerry going to do different?

dependence on Mid-East oil. How could this be bad, unless you have

to fiscal standards of the rest of the U.S. Your perception of them
just getting filthy rich is WAY off base.

Technology Plan to Create Jobs and Empower Americans to Lead in the
21st Century
Technology has the potential to empower Americans by creating new high
quality jobs, making America more competitive, and improving the
quality of life. However, to realize this potential, we need a
government committed to encouraging innovation and the widespread
deployment of technology.
We are currently in a jobless recovery and it is not clear where the
next round of high-wage jobs will come from. More than 425,000
technology jobs have been lost on President Bush's watch. We need a
President who is committed to bolstering technology and ensuring that
growth in these industries leads to job creation, widespread economic
growth and prosperity, and democratic involvement. Kerry's five point
technology plan will:

Encourage innovation to create high paying jobs.
Assure America has cutting edge technology for the future.
Make America more competitive by strengthening our markets.
Train a workforce prepared for the jobs of the 21st century.
Using technology to improve quality of life.


We do that now.


Horse****. Bush has cut subsidies that supported many, many thousands
of research projects.

What is Kerry going to do different?

See all of above. Again, at the beginning, I stated this is just SOME
of Kerry's ideas. There are many, many more.



Ideas? What are the actual programs to be implemented? Where is the money
for them coming from?

I never stated I "...went through ALL companies and subsidiaries..." I
didn't need to. I went through a couple of the organizations on the
list you provided. You used the word 'all'. By showing your lie in
only one organization, your credibility was shot.

And it remains so.

If you must have a name, call the CEO's office, as I did, and ask the
young lady for her name. I've given you the number I called, and you
are welcome to do the same. You made the statement that all these
Yamaha places were unionized. You lied. I didn't.

Then please, get the name of the person you spoke with at Yamaha,
U.S.A. I really would like to talk to her. Now, I could call your
number, when in fact the toll free number I posted goes to the exact
same place. Trouble is, I want to talk to the lady that you talked to.
What was her name again?
