The number of Americans who believe getting the troops home from Iraq is more important than winning the war there has fallen below 50% for the first time since Rasmussen Reports began polling on the question in May.

In the words of the Great Patton “Americans love a fight” and they HATE defeat. And the loser scum of the Vietnam war want us to walk away so badly so they can point to George and say “see I told you so!” to feel better about the guilt they still carry for idiotic policy that had us lose over 57000 men to a war we should have won.
Nothing doing. I don't trust or believe this poll
What that poll actually reflects is that more Americans have become aware of the actual situation in Iraq, and that is that we are winning. It also reflects that the MSM lost a bit of its grip on keeping good news about Iraq from the American people.
I’d care what a poll of the troops said, but a poll of random Americans, half of whom were clueless enough to vote for John Kerry/John Edwards, is irrelevant.
49% also voted for Al Gore.
I think because more people now believe the war is won, and they are for the most part correct.
Today, many Americans prefer political correctness to winning a war and killing the enemy. They’d call Gen Patton a warmonger.
Polls, schmolls.
The poll is not unbelievable on its face. We’re a divided nation, and I don’t doubt that more people than not lost patience with Dubya as far as the war goes.
The loser scum from the Vietnam era exists, but they are way to self absorbed to feel the guilt you describe.
I think you’re off base.
Imagine what the polls would look like if ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, & MSNBC actually reported the fact we are winning the war instead of looking for a reason to complain about Iraq.
The poll question itself is invalid. What about those, like myself (with no political considerations to hold me back), who believe the war in Iraq has already been won. It’s all over but the shooting.
Not to mention the Thousands who died after we left, thanks to the wonderful left wing communist, such as John Frickin' Kerry, who thought they were the end all and be all of America.
