There was a national telephone poll of 900 registered voters and 23 percent of Americans think the work of the Iraq Study Group is going to have a positive impact on the situation in Iraq and 14 percent think a negative impact. More than four in 10 (44 percent) say it will make no difference at all. The poll has a 3-point error margin. What do you think?

ok, lets look at this rationally, Bush's congress appointed the Iraq study group, and he did this so that the coming Democrat controlled congress would be less likely to choose the participants in it's own study group. The Bush appointed co-chairman James Baker the Bush family lawyer. In fact the Iraq study group is like an action replay of the Iran contra cover up.
So, Bush now says he's consulting with others, and in the end he will do as he always intended, he will continue to "stay the course" in this unwinnable war with no regard for the American soldiers being killed, or the Iraqi deaths.
If there ever comes a time when Bush is forced to change policy he can resort to the findings of the Iraq study group that his congress appointed.
A backup plan, anything to avoid ending his highly profitable war.

i think the learn team's findings has too many falsehoods in the looking's key factors to a sturdy device. the 1st falsehood is that we are dropping the conflict. To lose the conflict, the U.S. could ought to lose each and all of the objectives it got down to do. those objectives have been to create a Democratically elected government (finished), to construct 3,2 hundred infrastructure projects (eighty two% performed as of August 2006) and practice adequate police and squaddies so Iraq's government can preserve itself (The Iraqi president says which would be finished in June 2007). So the place is the dropping element? there became no purpose to surely end the scuffling with. The U.S. is in simple terms status in till the Iraqis are experienced. yet another project is to get Syria and Iran in contact. specific, on account it relatively is working oh so nicely in Lebanon, Chechnia, the former Yugoslavia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Bali, Indonesia, India, Burma and the Philippines. Syria and Iran are training and presenting communities that prefer scuffling with over politics. This finally leads to a 2d adverse element. The learn team hyperlinks each and all of the subjects to the Palistine/Israeli conflict. Syria and Iran have a objective to have a Muslim international in spite of if it calls for tension. It is going way previous Israel, by using fact removing Israel won't end the scuffling with someplace else.

The two major recommendations, the draw down of troops and discussions with Syria and Iran, have been rejected by Bush, so the report is, indeed, irrelevant.

Unless a poll covers 100,000 people it is useless.
You can't have a mere 3 point margin of error with only 900
people. The math doesn't work.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and have a nice day.
Thank you very much, while you're up!!!!!

I doubt it. The ISG was just a pebble of reality thrown at the stone-faced mountain that is our President's pride and ego.

If by irrelevant you mean that President Bush is going to ignore it and do whatever he wants, then yes, it is irrelevant.
