60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll: September Edition
September has arrived and it's time to return to the more normal pace of living that summer so beautifully manages to mess up. The kids are back to school, Americans are back to the grindstone, and the "60 Minutes"/Vanity Fair Poll is back with another set of intriguing questions designed to challenge and illuminate your mind.
And now the questions please:
Thirty five percent of Americans think removing the Taliban and leaving behind a stable government in Afghanistan would signify victory. Thirty percent think that withdrawal of U. S. troops would be enough. Twenty percent say capturing Osama bin Laden would constitute a victory and eight percent say the removal of the Taliban alone would signify victory. If you told all this to the men and women fighting there right now, what do you think they'd say?
