Here's the difference between a bias question and an unbiased one:

(Unbiased) Do you approve of the President's handling of the war on terror? Yes/ No/Uncertain

(Biased) Do you approve of the President's poor handling of the war on terror? Yes/No/Uncertain

Now look at the question's above on the poll, draw you're own logical conclusions.

Edit: I see that the original questions are not listed, so you cannot come to any logical conclusions from the given. USA Today / Bloomberg and *gasp* even Fox News are reputable news sources regardless of your views on them. If you do doubt the polls, why don't you review the sources, they are given above. If it's so hard to believe that the American public actually feel the way that's stated above then perhaps you are disillusioned.

Disillusioned, maybe I'm the only one seeing it clearly. The war is lost. The only reason we are still there is the oil. As was reported by the Fishman, when the new bill passes in the Iraqi parliment, the US oil companies will own 80% of the Iraqi oil reserves, was there ever any question as to why we went there? This "save the Iraqis from Sadam" was a giant smoke screen that even a pre-schooler could have seen through. All you neo-cons that are beating:beatdeadhorse: Should grow up and see the real deal!

That is a crock.....sorry. Right now I think that 17 out of the 80 sites are pumping; the rest were in such bad condition that they had to be capped off. IF this bill passes the Iraqi government will give the oil companies 75% of profit until the investment capitol is made up and then the percentage of gross profit is 80% for Iraq.

I always love how it's portrayed as if we're just pumping out the oil with nothing left for the country in question. Hell, when Saddam was in power it was French and Russian rigs.........none of which were maintained worth a shit.

Have a good one!:s4:

people that actually beleive the war is a good thing can only be described as retards, america is the new nazi country, the evil power and will eventually destroy the world and themselves.

You're talking about 20% of the oil reserves that have been tapped. What the new legislation that Fish talked about is the 80% that is still untapped, and will be distributed to the USA and the Brits, Viola, Billions of bucks for big oil. It's sure nice to have an oilman for President eh. If I could afford it, I'd buy some oil stock, If FRPT ever drops to 15.00 again, Im going to buy a bundle, you know those contracts are going to go big time. the military is already screaming for them.
