J, ya gotta think better of our troops.

Most are not there because they could not get a job. That is Moveon.org stuff.

There are non-US citizens serving in Iraq. The military has ALWAYS had non-citizens serving. Probably not many on subs but they were common on ships.

And, we had 571 criminal conduct waivers on 160,000 recruited this past year. Not a big deal.

CNN was not even in existence during Carter.....

You are correct Don. The Gallup Pole only has a 69% disapproval rating. However, that is also a new record (previous low was Truemans 67%).

It also shows opposition ot the Iraq war is at a new high at 63%.

Don,,,, There are quite a few of our US Volunteers in Iraq who can''t speak English in basic training, & we''ve lowerd the standards so far to grant wavers for criminals & known gang members.....

By the way Don, try to get out of high school & get a job with a living wage in this country..... It''s harder now with even 2 years of Junior College.

J, where do you get this stuff about the Iraqi constitution being Sharia law.

It is no where near sharia law.

You need to read more objective articles......

Everyone!!! It official Bush has made history.


A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey shows that 71 percent of Americans disapprove of how Bush is handling his job as president, the highest disapproval rating ever for a president since it began being tracked in the 1930s.
