I disagree.

That is irrelevant to the discussion.

You initially said that Bush did "a crappy job" justifying the invasion of Iraq.

I then pointed out that almost 70% of the population agreed with the Iraq war. By any measure, that is a very significant amount. So whether or not you think Bush did a good job, the numbers say he did.

70% of the population agreed with the Iraq war.

Big deal. The majority of Americans believe that Hussein was the triggerman in 9/11. As of now, their opinions are based upon false info (hopefully we will learn otherwise).

Bush has opened himself up for attack by constantly rewriting the rational for war. It was not necessary to do so.

Where are the polls on Bush's approv rate on war? only thing I can find (time...) was
" Respondents were nearly split on the president's handling of the war and rebuilding Iraq,

with 49 percent giving him a positive rating and 48 percent giving him a negative rating.

He fared better on his handling of the war on terror, with 58 percent giving him positive marks and 41 percent giving him negative marks." from Michigan.
