Oh. The way he's pontificating about the conduct of this war,
... we’ve had no plans other than to bomb the hell out of Baghdad, paint targets on our troops … I want to pound some sense into those people ...
I wrongly assumed he was a general.
So, here's a guy who does polls for a living, and he's spouting anti-Bush rhetoric at a college.
If we didn't believe his polls before we sure won't believe them now.
Zogby is an Arab. And a leftist. A deadly combination.
He really honestly sincerely believes we're retarded.
Scroll down a bit... we're mentioned in there.
Gee, sounds like he doesn't quite understand the concept of a 'big tent'. Yet, that's what Democrats claim they have. Interesting. Or, more likely, he's projecting on the GOP the rendering occuring now in his party. Liberals project a lot.
This is yet more suicidal liberal behavior on parade. Their self-destruct genes seem to be triggering heavily these days.
I wasn't aware that Zogby was an active military general. I mean, he MUST be since he knows we've not had any plans for dealing with Iraq.
He just can't bring himself to admit it.
The next step would be to admit that "When you stop and weigh the war and think in terms of the lives being lost and weigh it against overthrowing every tinhorn dictator in the region by lighting the fire of democracy in Iraq, yes, there might be a rationale."
Blaming Israel, America, Russia, or Zimbabwe has gotten the Arab world nowhere. The problem with the Middle East isn't foriegn oppression, it's domestic oppression. Until the despots are overthrown, and secular governments installed, they'll remain trapped in their wretched status quo of failure and defeat. The dominoes are already starting to fall.
I was just going to say that Zogby spoke in Ithaca, where he knew he'd get a friendly hearing. Talk about a setup. Nobody questions 'the prince of pollster's' motives or prejudices.
This is a despicable, misleading lie. Zogby completely ignores the ambitious plans to create a democratically elected government and new constitution for Iraq which were accomplished at a nearly miraculous pace given the size of the task and the history of the region.
These are not the words of an analyst, but of a zealous leftist ideologue. One should never again trust a single conclusion or statistic that emanates from the Zogby organization.
Perhaps we can send our troops to France for some R and R. Oh wait a minute. The French appear to be still fighting an Algerian War that began 51 years ago. When is the War going to be over in France ?
The left is in complete denial of reality. On the other hand those with clearly functional brains rejoiced when we found out there were no stockpiles of WMD's. Why did we rejoice ? Because if Saddam had stockpiles we would have lost 1,000's of troops and Iraqi civilians from WMD attacks in the initial fight to take Baghdad. No one in their right mind thought that patrolling a middle eastern country with millions of islamist was going to be easy. Except perhaps for the ex-CIA leftist disinformation 'experts'.
What qualifies a hack like Zogby to speak on security policy?? He's a pollster, and not a very good one at that. This gives him some special standing to speak on Iraq policy? Oh wait, being an Arab-American makes him an expert. Well guess what John, this Arab-American says liberating Iraq from a mass murdering terrorist-tyrannt like Saddam was a good thing and history will vindicate our policy as having been ground-breaking and visionary. To paraphrase Churchill: If we don't take on Al Qaeda now in Iraq, then when? If not us, who? If not now, when? Give it up John. Go back to skewing polling results with all the other pollsters by over-representing Democrats and mis-calling elections based on your wishful thinking.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
I see more and more evidence that we are winning in Iraq. There is more and more Saddam nostalgia.
Well of course we follow our sting of distinguished campus speakers with ZOGBY. Keep in mind that he follows such alumni sages as Sandy the Burglar man and Janet (the torch) RENO. So it would be fitting that we would invitepossibly the most inaccurate pollster of our time based on the 2004 results. Gotta hear from those who manipulate. But there is some good news.
For all that was paid (don't even want to know what he charged) to hear this drivel--the transportation cost were presumably only from Utica. A veritable gift to the campus.
