Only 19% Back Bush's Iraq Strategy

The War on Terror is torturing liberties and rights here at home in the USA, which means the terrorists are thus-far winning the WAR ON TERROR, because they have changed AmeriKa ... for the WORSE!


KENTROVERSY COMMENT:

In the news report below (which is really a press release published verbatim), the writer tries to tap into that subconscious 'program' that AmeriKa is evenly split 50%-50% -- which is what we frequently hear in the reporting of approval and opinion polling. The reporting of pre-election polls also taps into this subconscious programming, extracting the compliance of a sickening majority of the minds of the people of this country, whose only faults are apathy and the inability to extract a lie from statements they hear.

They say we are DIVIDED, which calls into mind that 50%-50% we are all supposed to be thinking of this. But, the number they show is 19% support both the war and the current approach. That means 81% DO NOT agree with either of these two things.

Now, the last time I checked, 81%-19% was nowhere near 50%-50% !!


ONLY 19% BACK BUSH'S IRAQ STRATEGY

September 30, 2006

Adults in the United States are divided over the state of affairs in Iraq, according to a poll by Opinion Dynamics released by Fox News. 19 percent of respondents support both the war and the current approach, while 33 percent are in favour of the coalition effort, but want a different strategy in place.

Conversely, 20 percent of respondents are opposed to the war but could change their minds if a new approach is developed, while 25 percent reject the conflict regardless of the strategy.

The coalition effort against Saddam Hussein’s regime was launched in March 2003. At least 2,711 American soldiers have died during the military operation, and more than 20,400 troops have been wounded in action.

In December 2005, Iraqi voters renewed their National Assembly. In May, Shiite United Iraqi Alliance member Nouri al-Maliki officially took over as prime minister.

On Sept. 24, portions of the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) were released by several media outlets in the U.S. The document says the war in Iraq has "increased the terrorist threat" against the United States.

Yesterday, U.S. president George W. Bush discussed the situation, saying, "Some have selectively quoted from this document to make the case that by fighting the terrorists, by fighting them in Iraq we are making our people less secure here at home. This argument buys into the enemy’s propaganda that the terrorists attack us because we’re provoking them."
