Answer 3

What's the point?

I myself am "unhappy" with how the war is progressing. I'm sure that's true for George Bush and most of his administration. As the article says, the mood of the troops typically mirrors that of the country as a whole.

So am I to assume that if you (or whomever your favored presidential candidate might be) were Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces and found yourself involved in a military action, you'd take periodic polls of public opinion to decide on strategy?

Great leadership, eh?

Unfortunately, in the Kumbaya world of liberalism, the overriding motivator is "happiness". Someday, you may find yourself trying to lead in a situation where EVERYONE is unhappy.

What would you do then?

Answer 4

It's because they are apparently learning that they are just small pawns in the big oil chess game. They are dying and murdering for oil. King Shrubby should spend the rest of his worthless life in prison for the crimes he's committed. I'm not deluded enough to think that'll happen though. I have a feeling that history will show him to be a gallant crusader to defeat the evil terrorism. It's a sickening thought, but that's how I feel. He's murdered tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of innocent old people, women, children. The list goes on and on to infinity.

Answer 5

Oh you mean the poll where they wont post the raw poll data, and you have to email some guy and ask him for it.

I find it somewhat amusing that the army isnt who runs army times. Its owned by Mediawest - GCI. They mostly own media in the UK ( about 75% of their businesses are there )
And there is no way for them to even know who of the people they polled are even in the military.

Answer 6

Retired Army, been to Iraq three times. I saw plenty of support for the administration and plenty of disgust towards people such as yourself. Only failure is your poll...

Answer 7

YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A READING COMPREHENSION COURSE

It says they support the War. Do you know what "handle" means? It's time for you Libs to enlist. You don't walk the walk like the Republican soldiers so what makes a Lib think he can quote them?

[P]wned.

Answer 8

No one in Congress threatening to fire them after the 2007 Election?

Answer 9

From your article "A surprising 13 percent said we should have no troops there. "

Answer 10

Because they are intelligent and patriotic, unlike bush and his chickenhawk traitor cronies.
