Polls are a wonderful thing, eh?

Actually, they are meaningless unless they are posited scientifically.

Unfortunately, many pollsters are hired to promote an agenda and the questions are phrased in a way that the respondent is trapped into an answer that doesn't reflect his or her thoughts.

Forget the polls: Common sense dictates that our troops should leave only when local forces can stabilize the region. I don't understand this move to dictate a date for withdrawal. Makes no sense; unless, of course, you are so anti-war and anti-Bush that you'd rather see a nonsensical retreat than to see the mission carried out to it's end.

>>Anyone with any sense can see that there is a constitutionally elected government operating in Iraq despite the Democrats' attempts to say that the whole thing is a failure and that civil war is inevitable. Most Americans can see it for what it is and not for how the liberals want to paint it.
