Service Members, Families Say Pentagon Sent Too Few Troops to Iraq (Clymer Alert)

Service Members, Families Say Pentagon Sent Too Few Troops To Iraq, Stressed National Guard and Reserves, Should Allow Photos of Coffins at Dover

Even though they support George W. Bush’s handling of the situation in Iraq in general, America’s military service members and their families are convinced that the Administration underestimated the number of troops it needed in Iraq and put too much of a burden on inadequately trained and equipped National Guard and reserve forces. From September 22 through October 5, Annenberg polled 655 adults who have either served on active duty between February and October or who were family members of those who served but were not available to be interviewed. Their answers were compared to the responses of 2,436 adults polled nationally from September 27 through October 3.

Rat Bastard Clymer tries to get revenge on Bush from 2000. These folks are evil.

Wow, sometimes we have to remind ourselves that there actually is a REAL Clymer -- that he's more than just a sphincter, he's a lying biased reporter, too. Thanks for the reminder.

I was sure it was a good thing in that I have never heard the name Chymer until today.

Annenberg polled 655 adults out of the 130,000+ families? How come I have never been polled for these or anybody else I know.

The PDF version of the press release lists Adam Clymer as the primary contact, along with a work number and a cell phone number.

Groan. And Walter Annenberg was staunchly GOP.

Okay, I see you are new to these parts. To call someone a Clymer, in FR speak, is one of the biggest insults you can say.

You know, I have been telling my FREEPER friends that the Anneberg Center is NOT one of the best sources to cite. I think it is one of those "non-partisan" groups that we all should take with a spoonful of skepticism.

You know when Rush Limbaugh refers to someone as a "clymer", that word has made the bigtime! I got a big laugh out of him saying that not long ago.

Time to resurrect the term "clymer" to describe someone who resembles an anal orifice.

Hee hee. Didn't know Rush had picked up on that term. Clymer has become one of those names of people, like Boycott and Quisling, that pass into general use!!

What a crock. They polled adults and not likely or registered voters

You must be too young to remember the private exchange between candidates Bush and Cheney during the 200o campaign- an exchange which was caught on an unnoticed open microphone, and which recognized reporter Adam Clymer as being known by both Bush and Cheney as an "asshole...yeah, big time!"

Please add Adam Clymer in parenthesis though. That's the 'news' to people who follow the media's shenanigans.
