Most Americans want the Iraq War over, period.

And most wish that it had never begun.

Foolishness is what started the war.

And it, along with the poor economy, put Obama into office.

That is quite the price to pay.

Odd.... I thought it was a madman in the Middle-East who was giving the world the finger after they had tried to contain him.

...oh, and that little 9/11 thingie with the airplanes might have played into it a bit as well.

Foolishness? You have a genuine gift for ignoring the elephant in the room, FRiend.

Once your enemy has begun the war without you, it is wise to join the fight quickly and see it through to the end.

You sound like a liberal media commentator. If you're trying to make the point that most Americans want the war over regardless of the outcome, you're also painfully wrong. Perhaps you could link some statistics that prove your point?

Foolishness is what started the war.

Silly me. I thought it was intelligence from six different countries, combined with Iraq breaking 17 different UN resolutions plus their cease-fire agreement, coupled with the reports issued by Saddam Hussein himself. Of course, I may just be one of those stooges who believes the three independent investigations that cleared the White House of "cherrypicking" intelligence; however, I prefer to subscribe to the fact that the Senate Select Committee on Intellegence picked the intel that was presented to the President, because that is their role.

Next you're going to tell me that it was all for oil, right? And that 9-11 was an inside job. And that we've killed over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 civilians.

Save it for DU.

TFM, a highly reliable (Sarc) CBS Poll apparently agrees with you. Congratulations.

It would be interesting to know how many from each group(R,D,I) were polled. One thing CBS couldn’t hide was the wide disparity between R’s and D’s. It’s blindingly obvious that the vast majority of Obama voters agree with the The FourthMagi.

agreed, wars that last longer than a few months are never election winners unless there is some immediate direct threat the the US. The Afghanistan war is one thing, to get BinLaden, but Iraq should have bombed to the stone age or other limited action. Conservatives correctly chided Clinton for nation building in Haiti but this 6 year war is OK?
we need to spend political capital on US.

Liberals on SCOTUS have done more damage to this country by far than the Muslims.
