new gallup polls on Iraq
« on: December 13, 2006, 03:11:21 PM »
The numbers emphasized by USA Today are those who "trust ____ a great deal" to recommend the right thing to do in Iraq. Only 18% trust the President "a great deal" to recommend the right thing, and only 14% trust the Democrats' Congressional leaders "a great deal.".....


 It's interesting that the entity that is trusted by far the most on Iraq is the military: 81% trust "The U.S. military and defense department" to recommend the right thing in Iraq

I think he planned on using the Generals as a scape goats... all along he finished every speech by saying he's listening to his Generals in the field.  And when challenged on something, he would just say the same thing... So I really think Bush figured on the blame falling completely in the laps of the Generals.

Interesting.  Not exactly a ringing endorsement for Congress.

I think our political system is failing our country, and I wonder how much longer we can afford to have people like this running our country.

And people wil blindly say "Bush did the right thing - it was bad intel and bad generals that caused all the problems."

Well, there was plenty of good intel - including the UN weapons inspectors saying there was zero evidence of a WMD program.  And plenty of good generals - advising more troops.  And, the UN offering to take on the peacekeeping effort, which we refused.

You can only throw a man so many lifelines before his drowning is his own fault.  If the war on terror was a smashing success right now, would Bush be giving all the CREDIT to the generals? LMAO...

Where did you get this from?   In any event they were wrong because, again, they did find plenty of WMD's that Saddam was not sposed to have destroyed after GW I(nerve gas and others)-but not near as much as the CIA and others expected to find, and of course no nuclear program of any merit. But to say there was zero is incorrect.

Forget Bush. Just imagine a different situation: If you were running this country who would you put your stock in intelligence wise-the CIA, the British MI, the Russian intelligence service, or the inept, corrupt, UN weapons inspectors who are only shown what dictators want to show them. 
Valhalla awaits.
