Given all of the negative propaganda that we have been fed, for months, not just the major batch dished up in the last few days, I am truly amazed at these results. If only we had an unbiased press . . . .

"Sharp partisan splits" - now there's a shocker.

You're right. You would think these polls would be screaming to pull out tomorrow, based on reporting.

There are plenty of people that walk around repeating word for word what comes off the network news, the NY Times, the Washington Post, or even NPR.

If only we had an unbiased press . . . .

No kidding. We are so blessed to finally have an internet, a Fox news channel, and talk radio. No more Walter Kronkites in helmets declaring, "The war in Vietnam is lost." This will probably still happen, but it won't be perceived as Moses coming down from the mountain.

"But the poll taken Thursday found sharp partisan splits on whether the Iraq war was justified and whether to get tougher - with independents generally siding with Republicans.

Some 60 percent of independents and 78 percent of Republicans say U.S. military action in Iraq must intensify to quell the violence.

But Democrats tilted the opposite way - 48 percent said the United States is unlikely to achieve its goals in Iraq and should reduce its military efforts, while 45 percent (of Democrats) favor getting tough. "

Maybe I missed something, but I done see the split along party lines that this writer describes. The democrats are about evenly split with half agreeing with the republican majority opinion.

Unless only democratic opinion matters there is no split. . . Never mind, there's the answer.
