Just over half of Americans, 53 percent, now say the war in Iraq was a mistake - the highest percentage to say that in AP-Ipsos polling since December 2003, when two-thirds said the war in Iraq was the right thing to do.
The poll taken earlier this week also found that almost six in 10 disapprove of the Bush administration's conduct of the war, but about the same number say they would prefer keeping troops until the situation is stable instead of immediately withdrawing them from Iraq. Some other findings:
-Who most favors the war: Suburban men, Republicans.
-Who is most opposed: Those 65 and older, people living in urban areas, unmarried women, those who make less than $25,000 a year, Catholics and Democrats.
-War's conduct: Almost six in 10, 56 percent, said they don't approve of the way the Bush administration has conducted the war in Iraq, with 41 percent approving. Four of five Republicans, 79 percent, approved, while more than four of five Democrats, 84 percent disapprove.
-No hasty retreat: Given the choice of keeping troops in until the situation has stabilized or bringing troops home immediately, six in 10 said they want troops to stay and help stabilize Iraq. The percentage of people who want troops to come home immediately has increased to 37 percent, up from 28 percent in November.
The findings on the Iraq war come from a poll of 1,000 adults conducted June 20-22 for The Associated Press by Ipsos, an international polling firm. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points, larger for subgroups.
True, but just my humble non-PHD opinion, oh the shame, wc9 is like murrymom, a moonbat, but a talkative one.
murrymom is a hit and run poster, wc9 it seems likes to keep digging himself a deeper hole.
Great, then you DO have time to find the quote about W talking directly to God.
"even with my five degrees, I can be incredibly stupid. Just ask anyone who knows me well."
Warchild9--you have told us your are handsome, intelligent and educated. You've also used the the word "awesome" too many times for a journalist. You didn't need to tell us you can be incredibly stupid. And one does not need to know you well to form an opinion of your intelligence or lack thereof.
To my #180, add:
3. Too damned serious
Could if I tried. But I don't wanna. This thread isn't worth the trouble. Besides, I'm on several threads simultaneously, and as it is, I'm having trouble making sure everyone receives a response.
I talk to God many times a day, don't you? Sure doesn't make me a saint. I even get an answer!
You take things too seriously
OMG, now a hillary impression.
Mr. Pepper, it's too soon for you to join the gang up!
You've got to get to know me better before you decide to call names like a baby.
Darling I feel that I know you well, is the little woman home yet?
I'll tell you the truth, I pray over meals and before I go to bed at night. I only give thanks, and never ask for anything.
I don't expect a response other than an understanding that I'm grateful to be alive, healthy, and my family and friends are well.
Please see wc9's post #131.
She's five nine and hot-tempered. Even I don't call her the "little woman."
That is Mrs. Pepper and I think that she has you pegged all right. By the way I happen to know that Mr. Pepper is highly educated and very smart.
I think "child" is the operative word in your screen name. How old are you?
This has been a very boring day and I needed that laugh!!!!!!
Moi? A character? Sure, why not. I make no claims on anyone, seriously want to hurt no one and wish only to entertain...myself.
People just have to lighten up.
I apologize for the Saint W comment, and, for you, I promise never to say it again to anyone.
