More Americans want out of Iraq now

than wanted out of Vietnam in 1970. “A USA Today/CNN/Gallup survey last week found that the percentage (52) of Americans who want to get out of Iraq fast, in 12 months or less, is even larger than the percentage (48) that favored a quick withdrawal from Vietnam when that war’s casualty toll neared 54,000 in the apocalyptic year of 1970,” reports Frank Rich.

  3. Andy says:

    We’re “emboldening the enemy” people. You can’t have opinions, you have to trust GW. God told him to invade Iraq. Do you think God is wrong?


  4. kplatv says:

    There isn’t a Draft, which would make the number even higher.


  5. Average TV Viewer says:

    I know from my personal experience that pulling out requires greater courage than “staying the course”. Bottom line is most people know this war is wrong. Ending it has been a process of overcoming personal fear, much of which has been propagated by the White House. Maybe someday soon people will become concerned about the really disturbing aspects of this whole charade. Like who in the hell was mailing out anthrax? Where is Zawahiri or Zarqawi?
    If we get attacked again I will never be able to fully believe who did it because the WH is so obviously desperate for war and propagating fear.

    ANY IDIOT THAT BELIEVES GOD TALKED TO BUSH, is AN IDIOT!
    WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WAS IN IRAQ???
    IF YOU AGREE TO “WANT” THIS WAR,, THEN BY ALL MEANS.
    GO,GO,GO.
    I AM NOT STOPPING YOU FROM GOING TO JOIN THE MILITARY,
    ANY ONE ELSE THAT WANT TO DIE FOR THEIR FREEDOMS.
    GO ALLREAY AND STOP ARGUING !
    NONE IS STOPPING YOU!
    DUMBASSES!

    Most Americans are not as dumb as we often think. Through osmosis or just their “gut feelings” they usually see through the smoke sooner or later. While this is very much later, the deception by Bush & Co. is being felt by more people every day.
    So what will the Bushies do now — nothing is beyond them.
    The Reps stunt on Murtha’s call for withdrawal was a colossal failure.
    I see a lot of cracks in their armor, and they are desperate — now is the time to be very watchful of them.

    TBS aired a show this evening called “Earth to America”.

    I hope you all caught it. It was a great Bush Bash by the likes of Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, Erik Idle, Robin Williams, Ray Romano, Will Farell, Cedric the Entertainer and many more.

    They are asking folks to sign a petition at stopglobalwarming.org

    If you missed this show, hope TBS reruns it. It was the best I’ve ever seen.

    Bush Bashing by the best, I love this country!
