Drudge: TWO-THIRDS OF IRAQIS SAY OUSTER OF SADDAM A GOOD THING, GALLUP POLL FINDS...

[ambrose]

Howard Dean is saddened...

[jern]

how exactly do you conduct that one

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The other third couldn't reply, because their tongues had been cut out.

[Brian S]

Is this the same "Gallup" that said Clark is leading Bush 49% to 46% just the other day? :)

[Paul Atreides]

What a coincidence; the same number of Dims said it was a bad thing.

[jwalsh07]

Yeah, the Eurosocilaists are beginning to get on board, excepting of course the intransigent and cowardly French, but the commie left will miss the boat as usual.

[ambrose]

Let's hope that Iraq is soon stable enough for Bush to make a triumphant visit to... say maybe next October?

[cake_crumb]

ONLY TWO THIRDS??? IT'S A QUAGMIRE I TELL YOU! A QUAAAAAGMIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!

[ScottinSacto]

It was a poll taken of "likely" Iraqis.

Well, partly, but there's also the Sunni bureaucrats (Saddam's Tikrit fellow tribesmen are the worst) that really miss the good old days when they could kick $ss, and the money was rolling in for them. Any uppity Shia or Kurd could be sent to the dungeons, literally. It's hard not to be the king(smen) any longer.

IMHO there will have to be a vote in Iraq sometime before next November--and the Iraqis will know that they can basically make or break GWB's election chances in the process.

I think that in a secret ballot they will go for a limited government by 4 to 1, just as the Nicaraguans did when they got the chance to vote the Sandanistas out.

[jwalsh07]

Key is WMD. I was never invested in finding great stores of it. I know he had it and I know the Bekaa is a hop, skip and a jump away. But if President Bush has the goods, the dims are in for a world of hurt.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

What do you mean how? The same way you conduct a poll anywhere.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Article to follow?

Zogby /AEI recently released comprehensive poll confirms the support. If the left cared about the Iraqi people, they would know this.

"Howard Dean is saddened..."

So is Gallup.

[Alamo-Girl]

Bump!

[votelife]

how will an Iraqi vote make or break GW?

[logician2u]

Another chest-beater, placing hope and faith above reason and facts.

And if the administration actually has evidence of WMD, what then? Do you propose they hold on to it until the very best time to drop a political bombshell? As in next October, or just before the March primaries?

What ever happened to the concept of high moral character?

If Klinton even considered such a stunt, his own party would have strung him up. That's an even more blatant abuse of power than wag-the-dog, and wag-the-dog was bad enough.

You may not personally believe in conspiracies, jwalsh07, but you realize you're giving the DU lurkers a hint that GW Bush might be involved in one. Do you think that's going to make them respect the President any more or what?

Unless you can present some proof, your continuing to proclaim that it's coming, just around the corner, as soon as xxxx releases his report, just wait and the trap will spring shut, etc., is so much hot air. Worse, it's destructive to morale when you promise things that are not likely to happen.

Are there WMD in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon? Who knows? If the CIA knows, they aren't saying.

I can guarantee you that once they are discovered, it will be front page news. This administration may have made some blunders in misunderestimating the postwar danger, but you know they aren't about to repeat Nixon's mistakes.

Give it a rest.

[jwalsh07]

You're ignorant of the facts but that's OK, you've plenty of company. Aside from security reasons, the Bush administration and their Chief Inspector David Kay have a schedule and defined criteria for releasing his report.

If it doesn't meet your criteria or scheduling priorities, well, that's too doggone bad.
