71 Percent Now Support War
Washington Posterier ^

Posted on 03/18/2003 8:29:55 AM PST by GulliverSwift

3. Would you support or oppose the United States going to war with Iraq? Would you support/oppose it strongly or only somewhat?

         ---------Support---------    ----------Oppose---------       
         NET   Strongly   Somewhat    NET   Strongly   Somewhat    No opin.   
3/17/03  71       54         16       27       19          8          3    
3/9/03   59       40         19       35       21         14          6    
Compare to: The Bush administration says it will move soon to disarm Iraq and remove Saddam Hussein from power, by war if necessary, working with countries that are willing to assist, even without the support of the United Nations. Overall, do you support or oppose this policy? (IF SUPPORT) Do you support it with reservations or without reservations?
         --------------Support---------------                                  
         NET   W/o reserv.  With reserv.   DK   Oppose   No opinion            
3/2/03   59        34           24         1      37          4                   

4. As you may know, today the Bush administration said it would NOT have the United Nations Security Council vote on war with Iraq. The U.S. might have lost the vote, and France said it would veto the resolution anyway.

Do you support or oppose the Bush administration's decision NOT to have the U.N. Security Council vote on war with Iraq?

            Support     Oppose     No opinion
3/17/03        66         29            5

5. In a speech tonight, Bush said the United States will go to war with Iraq unless Saddam Hussein and other Iraqi leaders leave their country within 48 hours. If they don't leave, would you support or oppose the United States going to war with Iraq right after the 48-hour deadline?

            Support     Oppose     No opinion
3/17/03        72         24            3

6. (Would you prefer it if the Bush administration waits longer before attacking Iraq), or (is the 48-hour deadline about right)?

            Wait longer     48 hours     No opinion
3/17/03          28            68             3

7. In exchange for their leaving Iraq, do you think the United States should or should not offer Saddam Hussein and his sons amnesty and not prosecute them for any crimes they may have committed?

            Yes     No     No opinion
3/17/03     20      74          6

8. Do you think the Bush Administration has or has not done enough to try to win support from other countries for taking military action against Iraq?

            Has done     Has not done        No
             enough         enough        opinion

That senile thing should be confined to the back row. I don't know why Ari still tolerates it.

Why do you have to quote that @#$%?

I was pointing out to all, that once again the idiot was wrong. The quote was lifted from his letter to "Govenor Bush".

The man is an embarrasment to thinking people. My quoting him was reinforcing how wrong and stupid he is.

Fine. I say we get together and roll him down a flight of stairs. We'll even give him a cup cake afterward.

Helen Thomas, a.k.a. The Seahag, takes a punch at President Bush every day in Ari's Press Conference. It gets OLD ! She is a joke.

With his weight we would have to pay for the damage to the staircase. How about an elevator shaft? Three stories should suffice. Probably not lethal, but the resulting 3 month hospital stay should give him some time to think.

The last time France wanted more evidence, they rolled through Paris with a German flag. They are less than fair-weather friends but you can be sure who they will be looking to save their bacon again in the future.

Well, this just can't be true. Just today Helen Thomas said that less than half approve.

What needs to be emphasized about Moore isn't that he is wrong. What needs to be emphasized about him is that he is a wimp. Not just in his political views, but in his personal life as well. He couldn't even handle one day in an auto factory! And auto factories aren't exactly slave labor: pick up hubcap, put on tire, repeat. Plus, he always insults Bush from behind the safety of his bodyguards. I'd love to see Bush get in his face. I know that Michael Moore would back down, and probably dump in his pants as well (actually, he probably does that anyway). He should be Freeped with emails insulting his manhood and calling his fat a$$ out.
