WASHINGTON · A narrow plurality of likely voters in Florida thinks the United States was not justified in waging war in Iraq and should bring its troops back home within a year, according to a new statewide poll.
The poll, commissioned by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and Florida Times-Union, reflects drooping public support for the war policy nationwide, with opinions sharply divided by gender and political party.

Where is the barf alert?
LOL..."...A narrow plurality"
What a description!! Translation...a few folks..
Pity for the Bush haters that about 300-350 of these 600 people will not vote in 2008.
Are they talking about Iraq, or New Orleans? ;)
I think this deserves The Most Useless Poll of the Year Award.
Probably the worst paper in South Florida. Only
worth buying on Sunday for the store coupons.

THIS is what our Nation is responding to.
Please remember that in the difficult times ahead.

Misremembering 9/11
snip
Another part is attacking the root cause of terrorism -- changing the kind of oppressive governments that lead to that kind of hatred and fanatical madness. We've been fairly successful at this so far, considering that -- as usual -- America has had to fight this war from a dead stop, while our enemies have been geared to the fight for a long time. We are not a warlike country by nature; we don't usually function in a state of war. Afghanistan and Iraq are well on their way to becoming self-sufficient democracies, even as Syria-backed al-Qaeda tries desperately to cow the Iraqis into accepting their Islamofascist rule. Increased demands for democracy have echoed throughout the Middle East: from Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, and even from the oppressed subjects of theocratic Iran.
What makes the fight against terrorism difficult is those in our own country who refuse to let us fight it. Some of them feel that we deserved to be attacked, while some feel that any use of force by America is inherently wrong. In seeking to place blame, they refuse to blame the terrorists themselves. Some are merely tired of hearing about 9/11 and war, unhappy at the loss of complacency. Some are anxious to "get back" to a mythical time when everyone loved America, and such things never happened here. Others, like most members of the "mainstream" media, are slaves to their own negativity, seeing only the costs and none of the achievements. Some actually seek to portray 9/11 as "all America's fault," and use the death of every soldier to undermine public support. They generally bill themselves as "anti-war," though in their portrayal of terrorists as "freedom fighters," they only seem to be against one side of this war.

AMERICA..HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
Yeah, but the others won't vote for George Bush.
"Anti War sentient swells"
What? Are the three protesters off their diet?
Real translation: "In the opinion of our newsroom"
Could be the same type of poll done last year indicating Kerry would win FL because they surveyed something like 300 out of the tens of thousands of people who had voted before election day....
LOL..of course. Poll taken at the DNC headquarters.
I think maybe its something in the Orange blossoms that affect the mind.
It seems wherever Oranges are grown the nuts abide.
I wonder if I could get a 3 million dollar grant to study this phenomenon.
Is that result overshadowed by the margin of error?
Surely it was, it is, it will be... Damn, their statistics are beyond my means... /sarcasm
LOL..u guys crack me up!
Really. I detest the MSM.
