no one "likes the war". but if you took a poll with honest questions, asking americans if they supported withdrawal if it meant losing - they would not support that. politically, this is what we should be doing to put the Dems on the defensive - they say they are "against the war", what the hell does that mean? would they pull out if it meant losing, like in Vietnam?
You're telling me what you think the polls say. I'm just interpreting the drudge report that some GOP senators are asking for some kind of clear move toward a conclusion of US involvement in Iraq. THat tells me that they - the senators - are reading polls that say Americans are skeptical as this thing drags on and on. The senators are professionals at knowing what polls mean. That's how they landed their jobs.
