It is impossible for our troops to lose this war because we already won it. Our war was with the Iraqi government who surrendered to us already. The mission now is simply to make sure that the Iraqis aren’t conquered again by a dictator….

Lost??? It’s already been won and quite some time ago.

WMD – ✓
Odai and Qusay – ✓
Saddam – ✓
Zarqawi – ✓
Elections – ✓

What remains to be done?

Deciding if Mohammed’s rightful successor was Umar or Ali? That’s for the Iraqis to figure out.

Zogby poll: Most American don’t think the war is lost

Hey Bryan, your typo or Zogby’s?

Who are those 3% who actually approve of the nonsense emanating from the Capitol?

Easy, the margin of error.

Hey, I can dream, right?

Most AmericanS don’t think the war is lost

Americans being the key word.

/sarc on

I think the first question in the poll was: Are you wearing pink? If the answer was “yes”, they were ignored.

/sarc off

If you’re Bill Richardson, finishing between Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich can’t be heartening.

His numbers are lower than they should be. They didn’t poll the illegal alien voters.

Rudy Giuliani topped the list with 14% support, followed by Fred Thompson (11%), Hillary Clinton (10%), Barack Obama (9%), John McCain and Joe Biden (7%), John Edwards (5%), and Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Bill Richardson and Dennis Kucinich at 4%.

Oh.My.Goodness.

Which is more astonishing? :

- That more people think Fred Thompson is better equipped to manage Iraq than Mitt Romney?

- That more people think Barry Hussein is better equipped to manage Iraq than John McCain?

- That anyone thinks that anyone is better equipped to manage Iraq than John McCain?

or

- That after four years, several major mistakes and corrections, enormous political pressure, and 100% clear hindsight, the highest rated candidate for President gets half of the rating that the reviled Chimpy McHalliBusHitler is presently getting for managing the war in Iraq?!

The one congressman they accidentally called in the course of the polling

DUH!

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Yeah but nothing will change if the type of candidates don’t. We are who and where we are in Congress because of who and where we are in society.

Totally agreed. But I am encouraged that we seem to be getting completely fed up with our leaders. I realize that the reason that the dems are down on congress is because they’ve been unsuccessful at surrendering, which goes straight to your point.

We’re a divided nation and it’s going to take time for the lies and propaganda to shake out and be exposed. A lot of time.

People will eventually look back on this period in history with shame and derrision at how openly spineless we currently are.

The pendulum will eventually swing back the other way. And probably too far at some point; because it is so far to the left now it’s going to leave a permanent societal scar on the American psyche.

apparently RP is a ‘tough on terror’ hawk in his district, advocating all sorts of things that contridict his national rhetoric.

Looks to me like the American People are more than ready for change all around. It’s time to clean House; Senate too.

27% give President Bush a positive rating on his handling of the war in Iraq,

3% positive rating for its handling of the war,

Things that make you go………….Hmmmmm, Bush gets 27 for his position, thats 24 percent more than congress for the same issue, (9 times as popular with the public as congress) perhaps congress ought to STFU and STFD and take some advice from the president.

Who are those 3% who actually approve of the nonsense emanating from the Capitol?

The ones with the microphones and cameras, of course.

This is going to be a very interesting couple of elections in 2008 and 2010.

Baird had just returned from Iraq, where he saw progress with his own eyes. His Democrat voters didn’t want to hear it.

Cover ears … LaLaLaLaLa …. LaLaLaLaLa …. LaLaLaLaLa

We will hear the same thing from the Donks when Petraeus testifies before congress next month.

Who are those 3% who actually approve of the nonsense emanating from the Capitol?

Probably the same 3% who cruise bathroom looking for some action.
Or the 3% who are truthers.

There are always that “3%”, in everything we do in life.
