This poll also shows just how fed up those on my side are becoming with the fraidy-crats. (BTW -that phrase is mine and anyone who steals it w/o credit is a punk-ass!)
Also shows how conflicted people are about when and how to withdraw from Iraq. Question: one interviewee said something along the lines of "don't tell them when just do it within 6 mo to a year." WTF?? WHat's the difference between leaving the country in chaos in 6 mo. or in 12?
Finally this poll is yet more fuel for the argument that people never wake up until they're kicked in the wallet. Gas prices are credited fpr the downturn. Think that's why Bush unveiled the latest reason we went to Iraq?
"On the second day of a two-day trip to California, Bush also raised the protection of Iraq's vast oil reserves as a reason for American troops to continue fighting in Iraq.
A former oilman, Bush had avoided linking the war to Iraq's oilfields. But with gas prices soaring, he raised the specter of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida forces in Iraq led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi taking over Iraq and its oil reserves.
'If Zarqawi and bin Laden gain control of Iraq, they would create a new training ground for future terrorist attacks," Bush said. "They'd seize oil fields to fund their ambitions. They could recruit more terrorists by claiming a historic victory over the United States and our coalition."
Oh. Gee, it's a good thing it hasn't become a training ground for future terrorist attacks yet...
Guess we're "staying the course". Shouldn't we at least chart one first?
