In addition to being terrible public policy, the idea of abandoning Iraq, as promoted by the likes of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Rep. John Murtha, isn't overwhelmingly popular with the American public, according to two new public-opinion polls. According to a poll released Feb. 20 by Public Opinion Strategies, by a margin of 53 to 46 percent, Americans agree that "The Democrats are going too far, too fast in pressing the President to withdraw the troops from Iraq." By 57-41 percent margins, voters agree with both of the following statements: "The Iraq War is a key part of the global war on terrorism," and "I support finishing the job in Iraq, that is, keeping the troops there until the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security."

Isn't it odd how we got multiple polls a WEEK for the year prior to the 2006 elections about how everyone hated the Republican Congress and we are getting a poll a week NOW about a Persidential election that is some 90 weeks away, yet you really have to dig to find ANY mention of what the Polls are saying about the Democrat Congress

Expected and predictable.

The MSM is at war with Bush and the military.

It is remarkable. The guys that used to be in the media that are in the ground now must be rolling in them.

This is what's happened. Last November people were frustrated with what was happening in Iraq. They were not last year nor now supporting our failure there. It's great to see people realize Iraq is part of the war on terror despite all the efforts of the MSM and the Dhimmi Party.

I think the big thing on people's minds at election time was corruption, which the MSM successfully linked to the GOP. I don't think people were voting Iraq policy on election day. Now, the public is strongly against the Dhimmi position. This is good. If this continues, the Dhimmis was be slaughtered in 2008.

Oh how I wish the "surge" would have happened before the election.
