If you believe that you never believed in the effort to begin with. The MSM isn't fooling anyone with their over sampled polls. You come here in Tucson and almost everyone will tell you we are doing the right thing. The only polls that show lack of support are the NYTimes, CBS and this one. You have fallen for a media trap. If a poll of 1100 people gets you depressed you should just put your head in the sand.

Here in North Carolina, especially in military families (I come from a Marine Corps family, third generation, and have many ties in the service), everyone sees that television is spreading BS, but that the war needs to be ended, now, permanently. That will involve amplifying the military effort, which the suits have no intention of doing.
There's grumbling and moaning. No one wants a pullout, which would be tatamount to defeat, but no one wants to continue with the half-hearted effort shown so far.
A City Councilman over in Cary said it to me best: "Seal the borders (of Iraq: me), section the country and kill all the terrorists in each section. Game over." He was an officer in Viet Nam, so I listen."
