Have you looked at the polls regarding the Iraq war lately?

Question

America is no longer divided. An overwhelming majority oppose the war. It is America on one side: Bush and the delusional on the other.

Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg Poll. Jan. 13-16, 2007. N=1,344 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. RV = registered voters
"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling the situation in Iraq?"

APPROVE: 33%
DISAPPROVE: 65%

"All in all, do you think the situation in Iraq was worth going to war over, or not?"

WORTH IT- 34%
NOT WORTH IT - 62%

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes of 24. Of course, I can tell the difference between reality and a TV show.

Laura - my freedom has nothing to do with war in Iraq.

Answer 1

It is a little late for mass awakening. Too bad America is so slow to realize the truth, the war should have never happened. It almost infuriates me that suddenly everyone can finally see the horror of this war, now that it is too late.

Answer 2

I disagree with the poll too. I believe in what President Bush is trying to do. I understand what he is trying to do. I understand that the Iraqi people are having a very difficult time adjusting to what they are suppose to do to take control of their Country. I think President Bush wants to get our men and women out of there as soon as he can but the democrats are grand standing which isn't in the best interest of Iraq or our troops. Shame on those in this Country who refuse to stand behind our President so he can get the job done! From the beginning there has been division. This has been the problem. We need to stand together. That is how America got through bad times in the old days. Let history repeat its self!

Answer 3

How 'bout if I answer a question with a question. How much is your freedom worth?, what would you, as our president have done when we were attacked?, and where would you look for Bin Laden at?

I guess you can consider me a part of the very small number. I happen to feel that our freedom is worth fighting for. And maybe I don't agree about being in Iraq, all I can say is that the American Contractors will be the winners when they go rebuild there. The money is HUGE.

Answer 4

I have heard some polls that have the approve lower then that. 28%. Is it any wonder when all but the delusional have abandon this corrupt and criminal president. Even some of his own repuglican congressmen are questioning the plan to send 20.000 more troops to their deaths. Before this last two years is over he will have all he can do to cover his azz as he is leaving the White House.

Answer 5

Americans do not see the threat to them as we did in WW2. It seems like a distant problem that we can ignore. We can't, and shouldn't. A major problem for America is that the oceans have protected us in the past from issues else where in the world. America is a land of isolationists. The problem is, that is no longer the case. There is no talking to these people, no diplomatic strategies, no winning the peace through reason. It takes force, and force is ALL that they understand. I feel that our rules of engagement should change, radically. We should be more fierce than the radical Islamics ever thought of being. We should make things so hard for them, that they feel that their very life is in peril every day. Only suing for peace will take away the threat of peril on their lives. That is how we should conduct this thing in Iraq. Carry a gun, or bomb, or even let someone think you are and you are literally dead. Then our boys, and women can come home. Make them and all others fear for their lives when they see the American flag, and perhaps we can have global peace again. One of the best ways to achieve that is for Russia ,and America to be close allies for the best good of the world.

Answer 6

im in the 33% 34% and only the outcome and time will tell the truth,I'm with them in "I'm in it to win it crowd".Yes in the long run,I believe it will prove that we made a right move,We would have been asked eventually by the other middle east nations I believe if we hadnt acted,but we will never know how much uglier it wouldve got,I mean Kuwait wasnt an accident or an uncalculated risk by Saddam

Answer 7

Did you know polls can easily be rigged by asking in a certain area, or asking a certain group of people.. and by the way, 300 million plus people live in the united states. It is impossible to tell with 1,344 polled. I think America is still divided over the issue. Myself, I don't really care about the war in Iraq, though I think its a plus as we're closer to Iran and Syria in some ways military-wise.

Answer 8

It was not worth going to war for.....Iraq is in a worse state now than it was before the invasion.
I know Saddam was an evil guy, but come on so is George W!!!
He has certainly killed his fair share of civilians!!!
The troops should be sent home, all they do is turn crazy and kill and rape innocent civilians!!!! Unfortunately there has been so much damage done over there that it isn't that simple....a rebuilding of the infratstucture needs to be done.
Too many lives are being lost on both sides..........hasn't anyone ever heard of Vietnam!!!
Its just history repeating itself!!!!

Answer 9

I've opposed it ever since 2002 and have had to deal with the wrath for my views.

All I can say about the polls is that it's about damn time people wake up, but look at all of the lives lost and money wasted.

Answer 10

I'm glad Bush doesn't run the country based on BIASED polls, unlike wolf boy Clinton, who did nothing to stop terrorism from festering
