I would like to know who these people are. America knows what happened the last time we pulled out of a war and left the job undone.

1. Who the $#@!! is Angus Reid Consultants and who paid for this survey??

2. It ain't over til its over and it ain't over as long as the Ayatollahs are ruling in Iran, the Baathists have a sanctuary in Syria and the Wahhabists are still running Saudi Arabia. As a matter of fact, it isn't over as long as that lunatic is still in power in North Korea.

If we pull out before a successfull revolution in Iran, and before eliminating the Baathists in Syria and before removing Wahhabist control in Saudi Arabia, what was accomplished in Iraq and Afghanistan will be all for nothing as the lunatics from those countries will just return to their old haunts, oust the present governments, re-establish themselves there and create a new terrorist infrastructure from which to threaten the U.S.

The MSM feed the American public a steady diet of cr*p on the Iraq War. Then, they conduct polls to find out what the people think, based on that bad information. Then they write articles reporting as a fact the opinions constructed of that ignorance.

And the beat goes on. Does the phrase coprophage ring a bell? It should.

Thank God the Bush Administration is run by adults who try to get the law and the facts correct, and then act on that basis. Furthermore, they take the approach of "Damn the torpedoes (the press). Full speed ahead." And they are right.

This is what it says about them on their web site: "At Angus Reid Consultants, we offer clients strategic advice to help them make better decisions about how to align their research needs in this rapidly changing environment. We provide services which help clients navigate the increasingly complicated world of marketing research and polling services."

Well, anyone (with a sound mind) after reading their poll, wouldn't want to hire this outfit for strategic advice because they have shown here that they can't do the job. LOL!!

THE SPINNING OF GALLUP'S SURVEY ON IRAQ:

According to a 6/8/05 Gallup poll, the respondents surveyed offered the following opinions concerning our troop levels in Iraq:

10% send more
26% keep the same
31% withdraw some
28% withdraw all

In typical agenda-driven fashion, the leftist MSM chose to add those who answered 'withdraw some' to those who responded 'withdraw all' so that they could BOGUSLY report that 59% of the American people want our troops out of Iraq . . . NONSENSE!

An objective MSM would have noted that 67% of the American public want to maintain our presence in Iraq, with a plurality within this percentage also wanting to begin the 'draw down' process -- A POSITION, BY THE WAY, THAT JUST HAPPENS TO REFLECT THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICIAL POSTURE RELATIVE TO THIS ISSUE!!!

BTW: IBD/TIPP's new poll offers CONVERSE results:

NEVER BELIEVE THE MSM'S 'SPIN' OF ANY POLL . . . THEY HAVE BUT ONE OBJECTIVE: DESTROY REPUBLICANS AND EMPOWER DEMOCRATS!!

98% of all women I've ever been involved with have demanded that I withdraw.

That of course, meant nothing to me.

Gub'mint by poll, what could be more democratic?

I heard Nancy Regan's son "Ron" blathering, today, about this poll. My disgust with Nancy's son know no bounds!

The foll. is my view on this issue. I posted this earlier but surprisingly no one took any notice of it!!!!??............................I think its the biggest mistake we could possibly make!!! Withdrawing troops from iraq at this point of time will result in utter chaos and confusion!!! Iraqi troops are hardly well trained to deal with such a situation and terrorists will soon gain the upper hand....... At best it will result in a civil war between shias and sunnis and worst-- Iraq will become the new base for al-qaeda and terror groups!!!!

...Many adults in the United States believe their government should begin to implement an exit strategy in Iraq...

I have to agree. We should begin implementing an exit strategy - from WW2, and the Korean War. We still have troops stationed in Japan, Germany and Korea along with many other places around the globe. Let's have that WW2 exit strategy exercised today.

I think we need to pull our military out of every where...starting with the places we have been the longest...Germany, Japan, Korea, Bosnia....then Iraq.

59 per cent of respondents believe the U.S. should withdraw some or all troops from Iraq, a 10 per cent increase since February.

Phony statistics. They group respondents who call for a FULL troop withdrawal with respondents who call for "some" troop withdrawals and come to the conclusion that a "majority" of Americans want the U.S. to abandon Iraq. Classic media manipulation.

In all honesty, I am definitely in favor of withdrawing the military from Iraq, and everyone I know thinks the same way. When mission is completed...

Jun. 8.....Feb. 6.....Jan. 16
Send more troops
10% ..... 10% ..... 24%

Keep as it is now
26% ..... 38% ..... 26%

Withdraw some troops
31% ..... 32% ..... 21%

Withdraw all troops
28% ..... 17% ..... 25%

If George W. Bush decides to send more troops to Iraq, would you be upset, or not?

Yes, upset ................... No, not upset
Jun. 2005 - 56% ............. 37%
Sept. 2004 - 40% ............. 53%

Source: Gallup / CNN / USA Today Methodology: Telephone interviews to 1,004 American adults, conducted from Jun. 6 to Jun. 8, 2005. Margin of error is 3 per cent.

More BS from the LSM.
