I thank God daily for our troops. They are doing a fantastic job. Hezbollah has just proven to the world that radical islam and it's terrorism cannot be tolerated. Period.

Two-thirds of U.S. troops serving in Iraq say they believe the cause they're fighting for is worthwhile, according to a new Stars and Stripes survey.

... revealed that 46 percent of readers in Iraq who responded to a survey called fighting the war for America "very worthwhile."

Another 30 percent rated it "somewhat worthwhile."

46% + 30% = 76% is over three quarters....what gives?

Even the S&S has the typical MSM Presstitutes in it.

More and more the S&S makes the old OverSeas Weekly (OverSexed Weekly to some FR Vets) look like a good paper.

I noticed the discrepancy, too, and I don't get it either.

Right now I'm printing out about 100 copies of this story and every time some pacifist goober tells me that we're screwing up Iraq or that supporting the troops means bringing them home now I'm going to shove this up... I mean show him this.

Good Luck. They'll just point to the 8% and act as though THAT'S the percentage of opinion that's truly valid.

Lot of other Freepers think so too, but then see reply # 8 for perhaps the reason it's not reported as such.

"Two-thirds of U.S. troops" = 46% + 30%

BIAS or mere arithmetical INCOMPETENCE??

either way, sounds like the usual media idiocy.

LOL!...That's because Murtha doesn't base his positions on facts that can be verified, he only uses unnamed sources. This is just like his "our Army is broken" and "those Marines are guilty of cold blooded murder."
