Fully 70 percent of Americans oppose sending more troops, and a like number don't think such an increase would help stabilize the situation there.

Terrorism is actually something created by the USA's foreign policy throughout the last decades.
We, Americans are brainwashed!
Read this: it may sound sad to you, but this is the truth:
This war is lost for good anyway. The only chance to (maybe) reverse the situation would be to send 10 times more troops, at least, which is not feasible (yes, that would be about one and a half million troops!)
140,000 troops already there; add 21,500: that's 161,500.
It's similar to having 16 guys instead of 14 to do the same job: does not make a big difference, does it?
It does not even replace the 22,800 American troops who have been injured!!! Not mentioning the 3,000 who are dead and those jailed for theirs crimes...
Do you remember this Iraqi "Minister of Information" who, at the begining of the war, said the American troops would be defeated. We all laughed at him. Even him did not believe what he was saying. All we can see now is that... he was actually right!
Bush is a LOOSER IN CHIEF!
And if America does not change its foreign policy, "we will soon have car bombs here at our schools, churches and homes", as someone wrote here...
P.S.: Remember, God does NOT exist!

I am very thankful that our system is set up in such a way that the president doesn't need to kowtow to the whims of the people every time a new CNN story sways public opinion or a new poll appears. If the people are unhappy with the decisions made by the president they can make a change come next election. The last thing this country needs is millions of armchair quarterbacks voting on every decision made by the CIC.

Washington's got nothing to do with the American people after the election.
You just have to wait till the next election and see if you can find a new moron to put in the White House.
Doesn't White House suggest racism and the KKK and the state of black American people when there are hurricanes in the south?
Think about it.

You don't speak for the American people. There are 300 million of us and we all have our opinions. We do not fight wars based on opinions of the population. The President was elected to do a job. That is the basis of our representative republic.

And that means what, exaclty? The opinions of people who have no responsibility is meaningless to the decisions of those who do, and who believe they're doing the right thing.
If I wanted a hollow president who danced every time an opinion poll told him to, I'd vote Democrat.

The democrats are listening to the people and they agree. Many republicans are joining the democrats on this issue. Thank God!

Hopefully no one. The troops in the field are asking for reinforcements. I assume [from your] statement you don't want them to have help.
