We have the support of most European allies. 16 out of 19 NATO country allies, Japan, Australia, and a host of other nations - we know the drill ... To imply otherwise is POLLAGANDA.

Right. Isn't that about the same percentage that thinks that foreign policy doesn't matter when choosing a president? Chances are good those 6 in 10 have no basis for forming an opinion either way.
Since we already HAVE international support, and France and Germany are the only two holdouts (Russia wants more oil, and China just wants to be a pain) I'd say the media propaganda must be working.
Screw PEW
This "drop" in support is directly related to the press (and demacRAT party's) latest attempt to perpetrate another lie on the American people. Namely, that we are considering "going it alone" into Iraq, or how about "the American people don't want to go it alone" . How many times have you heard these words used by the press? It's a lie. How much coverage was given to the letter in the Wall Street Journal signed by all the countries who are with us? Answer: Not much. The press mentioned the letter breifly, but they have continued to use the "go it alone " and "unilateral " terms in their reports on public support.
The question in the poll is false. It asked weather we should go WITH OUT ALLIES and of course many of the American people said no. THE QUESTION GIVES THE FALSE IMPRESSION THAT WE HAVE NO ALLIES. Then it aks about another UN resolution, wich people assume is about gaining allies. What our people are confused about, is weather we have allies or not.
If I were President Bush and his staff , I would make a concerted effort to explain to the American people that WE HAVE ALLIES WITH OR WITHOUT THE UN. For example: any time a reporter tries to use the term "go it alone" (or some term like this) President Bush should stop him and repeat the names of the countries that are with us . He could send his staff members out to the mainstream press outlets and cable and read have them read the WSJ letter again or he could just say, "the press is trying to give the impression we don't have allies; this is not true. We have (repeat the entire list of countries who have pleged their support)" at various press conferences and public appearences, until people get it. Everyone on his staff should have the names of the countries that support us memorized so they can immediately respond when the press tries the "going it alone " impression. It should be made clear that the UN is representative of the "axis of weasles". Our people should be reminded of things like the UN has Syria in charge of Human Rights (and that Syria has HUGE Human rights violations) while we were kicked off the commission, and that they are planning on putting Iraq in charge of disarming itself. But it is most important to clear up the confusion between who our allies are(that we have them), and UN support,make it clear these are 2 different things.
Tow problems with the word should. The first is it isn't MUST. I might think we should get a UN resolution but it doesn't mean its a prerequiste.
Secondly, the word "should" can be intrepreted in another way. As in, the UN "should" give a second resolution because it would be nuts not to.
