Support for Initial Invasion Has Risen, Poll Shows

[medicinal]

Americansâ?? support for the initial invasion of Iraq has risen somewhat as the White House has continued to ask the public to reserve judgment about the war until at least the fall. In a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted over the weekend, 42 percent of Americans said that looking back, taking military action in Iraq was the right thing to do, while 51 percent said the United States should have stayed out of Iraq.

But two-thirds of those polled said the United States should reduce its forces in Iraq, or remove them altogether. Support for the invasion had been at an all-time low in May, when only 35 percent of Americans said the invasion of Iraq was the right thing and 61 percent said the United States should have stayed out. The latest poll made clear that a two-thirds majority of Americans continue to say the war is going badly.

However, the number of people who say the war is going â??very badlyâ?� has fallen from 45 percent earlier in July to a current reading of 35 percent, and of those who say it is going well, 29 percent now describe it as â??somewhat wellâ?� compared with 23 percent just last week.

So what is a Dem. politician to do? We were for it....but now we're against it. If the polls keep on moving they'll be for it again. LOLHave a good one!:s4:

Let's take your thesis for a ride in the country. Say you decide to go on a sunday drive in your new convertible, a sunny beautiful day, you put the top down and are driving along enjoying the sunshine, all of a sudden a thunderstorm pops up and it starts to pour. Do you continue on your drive with the top down or do you "change course" and put the top up to avoid the rain. Then the rain stops and the sun comes back out and it looks clear for miles, would you put the top down again, or worry about another rainstorm. Shit happens, things change. People with brains know how to adapt to changes, others like lemmings don't. Your side is a bunch of braindead lemmings following their leader blindly into the night.
