On O'Reilly's interview with the President, the President commented that he felt a lot of people were unhappy with the war because they wanted to WIN. This supports your analysis, and I don't think the President just said that based on intuition...I would bet that their private polls actually ask WHY people are unhappy, unlike the MSM polls.
My two cents - we have to make everyone there totally fear us. It may sound drastic but if these terrorist scumbags take over a city or a section of the city, than we have to totally raze that area down to the ground.
It's just a thought and probably a stupid one. I am not on the ground so the Freepers who have contact with those who are - what are they saying? Are military commanders not doing their job? Are they afraid to speak their mind to Rummy and the President? Are there Clinton holdovers within the military and DOD, who are undermining our effort?
I agree with both of you. During an election, the Democrats don't do or say anything that hasn't been thoroughly polled and focus-grouped. The presstitutes are not giving us the whole picture when they say, "The majority of Americans disapprove of the war in Iraq." Why do they disapprove? What do they want done differently? Other than "Fire Rumsfeld!" these questions are never discussed.
I and many people I know fall into the camp that says, "We went to war, we support the President, but we will not support dragging this thing out forever while the Iraqi government dithers and fights with itself. Take the gloves off, knock some heads together and win the flippin' peace already."
That attitude in no way translates into a vote for the Dems, even though the presstitutes would have us believe it does. Pelosi and Co. have polled and focus-grouped the war issue to death, I'm sure, and know full well there's no stomach for impeaching the Pres. on it outside of the Move-on crowd. This fact bodes well for the Republicans next month.
