If you can cite a poll within the past 6 months that shows Americans favor the Iraq invasion, cite it.

It took almost 30 seconds on Google to find one.

The Harris Poll® #14, February 18, 2005

On other issues concerning Iraq, the attitudes of large majorities of the public have not changed significantly in the past few months.

* 88 percent of U.S. adults believe that Saddam Hussein would have made weapons of mass destruction if he could have (down slightly from 90% in November).

* 76 percent believe that the Iraqis are better off now than they were under Saddam Hussein (same as November).

* 64 percent believe that history will give the U.S. credit for bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq (up slightly from 63% in November).

* 64 percent believe that Saddam Hussein had strong links to Al Qaeda (up slightly from 62% in November).

* 61 percent believe that Iraq, under Saddam Hussein, was a serious threat to U.S. security (down slightly from 63% in November).

Churchy had claimed that 'most' Americans oppose th ewar.
I'd asked her to cite proof.
Do note that Churchy tried to turn the burden of proof around on me.
Since churchy cannot conjure up a poll to cite as proof, and you could, I'd say that is the reason churchy ran away to another thread.
Probably to return to this one after five days and enough time to attempt to think of some way to wiggle out of the corner they painted themself into.

You're very selective in citing your poll. You leave out the lead: the public remains split on whether the invasion of Iraq strengthened (46%) or weakened (48%) the war on terrorism. So a plurality - 48 percent - think the invasion "weakened the war on terrorism". But you're so intellectually dishonest, that you cut that out of your post.
