Poll: Only 17% approve Iraq "surge"...
Washington Post ^ | January 09, 2007 | ducman

Posted on 01/09/2007 5:58:59 PM PST by ducman

Tuesday, January 9, 2007 "In the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, six in 10 respondents said the war is not worth fighting, three-quarters disapproved of how Bush has handled the situation, and there was no consensus about how the United States should adjust its policies in Iraq. Only 17 percent called for an increase in U.S. forces, the "surge" believed to be a centerpiece of the new Bush plan."

Still missing the point.

These numbers can be found NOWHERE on the internet and I surmise they are fake. The "poll" link in WAPO takes you nowhere.

Is this poll fake? Yes or No???

Thanks Sean Hannity for your support /sarcasim

Geraldo said on HC tonight that Uday and Qusay died as heros, honorably. WTF? And Sean didn't call him on it. WTF? I wasted the last 6 years giving SH 3 hours a day and 2 hours on Fox and he lets this Geraldo slide on these comments????

Sean you lost a listner/watcher tonight. I know have seen the light, you are nothing but a repub hack. Sean, where is your honor?

ps. This is not a hit piece on Sean Hannity, but this guy is losing everything that he built up on his continued support of his political buddies.

Bye Sean. Goodluck.

Hillary loves to critisize Bush for not finding Bin Laden. He just cleaned up her husband's mess how many years later?
Also, even FOX news constantly shows all the people that don't support the president. I haven't seen ONE member of congress talking about support for Bush. They just don't put them on.

Don't let facts get in the way of paranoia. France is the only one of the countries specifically mention that even has a Muslim population that breaks out of the low single digits.

I refuse to watch H&C for the reasons you just stated. I will never have Geraldo on my TV screen for more than a few seconds because if he comes on the channel will change.

Geraldo is a lowlife and how he can say those two murderers died as heros. Fox News is going downhill fast.

It is like when Sean goes on TV he changes. I cannot believe him at all when it comes to Geraldo.

If you saw it Geraldo was giddy when saying this... and Sean didn't even flinch. Sad.

For the record, war is not a democratic event.

Voting in a rigged poll doesn't count.

Perhaps the latest WaPost poll was taken in the press lunchroom?

Perhaps not we, but they (our government) should have taken it more seriously.
The Viet Nam retreads who only have failed war policy to guide them are wallowing into the same mold that brought us the failure in viet Nam.

Our President has been serious from the beginning. Wading through every piece of advice from every John, Dick and Harry is a nightmare that can easily cloud the mission.

We have to fight terrorists, Al Queda, Hamas, or whoever, wherever they try to make a stand. Iraq was and still is a harbor for terrorism. As long as we are fighting them there, they are not here killing us yet.

I cannot believe how easily people can be lulled into a false sense of security, that the problem is over there and will stay over there if we get out.

We should start supporting America. Every cry of resistance or concession from an American only gives those killers more ambition.
Selling a war as you say should be a matter of patriotic duty rather than a bunch of loudmouth congress critters making deals that help their bottom line rather than working for what is best for the security of our children.

Pelosi says she is the congress mother ou America's children. Well if their security and long term well being and prosperity is not included in her "package" just feeling good with balloons and ice cream ain't going to cut it.

This whole anti war resistance is just a big part of the left wingers plan to discredit Bush for everything and make him a failure, because he "stole the election from Al and John and the Democrats. Much of the displeasure is manufactured bullshit and you know it.
When more people are murdered in New Orleans in a given weekend than soldiers die in Iraq, where is the outrage????
At least the soldiers have a mission they believe in. They are doing a fantastic job considering they, from all MSM accounts in America are total failures.
The people in the streets of America, exactly what do they believe in?? What do they stand for??? What is the price they pay for success or failure??

If there is anything f###ed up about the war, its the worthless politicians making a name for themselves so they can get donations from Mikie Moron and BaBa Strisand and live large while someone else does the dirty work.

I have a son who is leaving for Iraq very soon. He better have nothing but the best available weapons, and munitions, and rations, and armor because if any congressional bastard cuts funds and makes him or any other soldier more vulnerable, so help me Christ, there will be hell to pay in DC.

I guess I'll just let this go, and remain on the WAPO web site for the Liberals to gloat over as "fact".

What the hell.

We've lost anyway.

I've got "boots on the ground"....and I'll wait until I hear from the President and from him before I react or respond to any stupid WP poll.

I suggest we all do the same.

This reminds me of how the polled the public when most of us didn't even knoiw who Terri Shiavo was. Then they bludgeoned us with that poll for weeks. The president hasn't even outlined his plan yet, so no intelligent person should have an opinion on it.
