Another push poll. Its BS.

This does not square well with another recent poll that suggests most Americans think the surge is working. I think the truth is, the MSM is trying to get out in front of the story with what they want Americans to think.

The Democraps suck. Their minds have been closed for a long time and they are just pitiful. They should be charged, tried and convicted of treson and hung by their necks.

How many AQ or Islamomuzzie thug attacks have there been here on our soil since 9-11? Answer it you stupid blind liberal Democraps.

What is right has been made wrong and what is wrong has been made right..... Nothing new under the sun..... Clintonism confirmed for me personally what that word faith literally means.

We this nation that acknowledges that unalienable rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness come from our Creator, NOT liberals who demonstrate time and time again they lie and deceive to destroy.

Of course the “public” thinks this.

If they didn’t, then the MSM wouldn’t have correctly done their duty.

I’d be satisfied if we just had some people who could refute their nonsense on television. They make these outlandish charges and get a free pass all too often.

How many tens of thousands of these terrorist clowns have been killed in Iraq? Many. If we were not in Iraq, would there be no terrorists? No. They would be attacking us somewhere else, eventually here, but there would be thousands more of them to do so. It amazes me that rational people can’t see this. I guess the left is irrational.

We are lucky the terrorists are just as irrational as the left. The smart thing for them to do is lay low in Iraq,so we will leave. Instead, they behave like hornets that have been provoked in the nest. They irrationally attack, making them easier to kill.

Every terrorist we don’t kill in Iraq is one more we will have to kill somewhere else later, likely here.

It really chapped my A$$ when I heard Dirty Harry Reid describe the report as the "Bush-Petraeus" report.

I'd say the report was Dead Before Arrival in the 'Rat Congress.

It's just their way. Always has been since at least the Korean War.

But don't you dare question their patriotism.

Well I dare, and I would, but they have none.
