Comments on: CBS Poll: 76% Say War's Going Badly

Record Number In Survey Say Getting Involved In Iraq Was Mistake

[realpatriot1]

Why should Bush care? He doesn't have to run again and Rove/Miers/Gonzales are hard at work appointing Prosecutors who will help fix the 2008 election for the Republicans like they did in 2000 & 2004.

I've been waiting all day to see if the media would pick up on the bombshell that Goodling dropped yesterday. Of course, they didn't.

Rove's buddy Tim Griffith who replaced the Federal prosecutor in Arkansas had voter caging lists according to Goodling. What that means is he was working on lists of registered voters whose right to vote he could challenge. Of all the votes suppressed in the last 2 Presidential elections, not one case of vote fraud has been brought against any of the voters whose votes were suppressed because they didn't do anything fraudulent.

The attorney firing matter is all about fixing the 2008 election to keep the Republicans in power.

In the meantime he'll keep the 24% in line with more fearmongering on the War on Terror.

Somone should ask him what the will of either the American or Iraqi people means to him. But I think we already know the answer.

Well, this is a first. I've never seen CBS just wipe the comment board but leave comments open.

Did we offend?

How many believe this 'war' was part of Di!ck Cheney's Secret Energy Plan?

[alphaa10-2009]

The Iraq war has become progressively worse since Bush declared "victory" back in 2003. In the four years since, Bush and cronies have been in full denial-- at our expense. Some 3,400 Americans have died, tens of thousands been maimed and disabled, and between $400 and $500 million has been wasted on this consumate Bush debacle.

However, the worst damage of all is the high crime and misdemeanor Bush and minions launched against the American people, in congress assembled. To our congress, Bush, Cheney, Rice and others intentionally misrepresented what was known about Saddam and the threat he posed to us. As a fraud of the most serious, damaging kind, Bush and co-conspirators deserve the maximum penalty possible.

Perplexingly enough, Bush is not even a clever criminal, simply a pathological liar who has been caught again and again in his corruption and incompetence. What made Bush possible are the proto-fascists among us who heard what they wanted to believe, GOP businessmen hotdogging on the option to plunder, and/or also the gullible who have fallen for every cheap trick since Nixon hired Madison Avenue to sell him like a box of soap.

All I have to say is ...

23% think the war is going well?
what planet are these people from??

[hunt8088]

Our government is divided, we are fighting a war in a country that should not have been started, our economical system in America is falling apart, the working class can no longer support their families and people 55 and older are phased out of jobs, can not receive assistance because they are "too young to be old and too old to be young" not to mention health care issues. If our American citizens are suffering from all of the above, how in the world can we justify allowing foreigners to stay in our country, receive our benefits, not pay taxes and we provide them a home?
How are we going to fix our nation without first recognizing that we, as humans, have failed? We have failed to maintain our values, moral and responsibilities to each other and to our country. We, as Americans, have allowed events, decisions, laws and powers to be made and given without our involvement and without protest. We have become, "one nation, for the benefit of self, with liberty and justice as long as it serves our individual needs". Shakespeare wrote many plays about universal imbalance but we fail to see the message in his writings. We took God out of our pledge of allegiance, our schools, courtrooms, libraries and museums and our country took a digressive dive in morals, beliefs, accountability and responsibility to country and, in particularly, to each other.

""Here's a poll question for you" Would you be in favor of Saddam back in power 'if he were alive". Or was going to war worth removing him."
Posted by okmd58"

Absolutely, I would have him back in power. He was the only secular leader in an area where we are concerned about religious extremism. He hated Bin Laden and would not and did not support Al Qaeda. He was a balancing force against Iran; a stabilization of the region which we supported by arming and funding his regime for decades, until we decided we wanted the oil.

Even at his worst, his killing of his own people paled into insignificance next to the mass slaughter we have inflicted on them. Yep, we, true-blue America, under Bush are worse than a murderous dictatorship. We don't even have the good grace to contain our slaughter of the innocent within our own borders; we go thousands of miles to bring the final "democracy" of death to other people in their own countries.

Hell, I'd almost rather have Saddam in charge here than Bush, let alone in Iraq.

We needed a poll to tell us that ??? - It's been going badly for 4 years now & it's no big secret.

We never voted Bush in in the first place. More than half of us voted for Gore but (AMAZING COINCIDENCE!) the state of which his brother was governor gave him the White House, along with some clever finagling of the Supreme Court.

It was easier in 06; all he needed was Art Diebold in his pocket. Amazing, isn't it, that in one precent on Ohio, 19,000 people voted for Bush where there were only 8,000 registered voters total, and in another, 3,000 votes for Bush were tallied before the polls opened.

So ... about those elections again? What were you saying?

Any American who think the war is going "well" would have to be delusional...

[bogusbones]

Let's see 76% say war is going badly so our President pushes ahead with HIS Iraq plans. Now he's developing plans to halt Iran's nuclear program. Let's not forget Afghanistan.

This Administration is single-handedly ruining not only the U.S. but the world. I have been in opposition to his ouster, but he keeps giving the American citizens to demand the removal from office.

Dear Mr. President. Please begin to read (history not Dr. Seuss), listen to the electorate (not Rove and Cheney) or change your address to Crawford Texas.

Thank you.

[chadi7]

What happened to the comments???? I was reading them thank you very much!

[cynical5]

Really makes you wonder about that 7% who think the war's going badly but still approve of Bush's performance.
