Seriously, Egypt – that’s nice. Look on the bright side, you’re getting about 5.5% approval per BILLION. Throw another 10 billion in there per year and you’ll crack the 55-60% approval rating mark in no time.

Thanks Jimmy, this one has really panned out. Please excuse me I need to go read more Hamilton, Baker & Scowcroft literary works to see where the US should invest a few billion next, hmm.. Palestinian State anyone? This is almost as encouraging as the ‘moderate’ Islamic Turks listing you about on par with the local cockroach population for national approval.

The sad part is for the 1st and 2nd poll I would wager a internal Democrat poll would look allot worse.

I notice that if we win in Iraq our favorability in the mid-East goes up. When we are looked at as losing in Iraq, it goes down. Why is that?

Osama and AQ are unpopular, although not as unpopular as they should be:

Heck,more Americans think Bush orchestrated 9/11 than Saudis like AQ.

How much of that Turkey discontent from the hot topic issue of the other day on Armenian genocide? I was surprised at their numbers.

Anyone who actually believes you can get a legitimate poll out of the United States needs therapy.

Out of Saudi Arabia? That schmuck needs to be sold a bridge!

There’s some confused people over. Take for example on Page 10, 42% of Bin Laden/Al Qaeda supporters say that the U.S. spreading Democracy in the Middle East would improve their opinion of the U.S. Huh?

still sifting…

Well, I see our billions in aid to Egypt has reaped real good will. And, our NATO alliance with Turkey is really paying off too. Nice to see those moderate states firmly on our side. Hey, heckuvajob on the public diplomacy effort Karen Hughes.

Good lord.

Hey, what’s a world without Jew haters. Probably the same stats (51%) could be found on most any university.
