Believe it or not, this was a blurb linked on the frontpage.

Wow! That says something if the NYT put it on the front page!

Americans’ support for the initial invasion of Iraq has risen somewhat

Have we really reached this surreal point? Where we're polling Americans on their "support" for a historical event?

The initial invasion of Iraq occurred in 2003. It is nonsensical to ask people "do you support the initial invasion of Iraq". How can you "support", or not, a historical event that already occurred? More to the point, who cares?

Hey Freepers, do you support the Trojan War?

Do you?

What about now? Do you support it now? Did you change your mind about whether you support the Trojan War since the last time I asked?

Truly surreal.

This is just the MSM taking the measure of the effectiveness of their story telling. Expect mush stronger antiwar/anti-america stories in the near future.

I’m surprised The NY Slimes put it on the front page. I thought they would have buried that.

[George W. Bush]

42 percent of Americans said that looking back, taking military action in Iraq was the right thing to do, while 51 percent said the United States should have stayed out of Iraq.

Though rising, still a strong majority against it.

But two-thirds of those polled said the United States should reduce its forces in Iraq, or remove them altogether.

A far stronger response. I don't think it'll change either. Iraq has to stand on its own feet, sooner or later. It's about time Iraqis die for Iraqi freedom, not American soldiers fighting and dying while the Iraqi parliament abandons its duties and adjourns for a long vacation.
