Default Left Wing, MSM media, Military Times says support for GWB's wars are eroding....

The actual source of the poll, quite revealing, somehow it is out of step with what our commander in chief is saying and doing.
http://www.militarycity.com/polls/2004_chart2.php

A synopsis of the article

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/0....if0cb0yj.html
Support for President George W. Bush's Iraq policy has fallen among the US armed forces to just 54 percent from 63 percent a year ago, according to a poll by the magazine group Military Times.
In its annual survey of the views of military personnel, the group reported on its website that support for Bush's overall policies dropped over the past year to 60 percent from 71 percent.
While still significantly more supportive of the president than the broad US population, the fall in support by military personnel tracks a similar decline in the president's popularity among the general public.
"Though support both for President Bush and for the war in Iraq remains significantly higher than in the public as a whole, the drop is likely to add further fuel to the heated debate over Iraq policy," Military Times said.

It doesn't matter that support among the troops is falling; the right-wing will keep on sending them overseas so as not to make Bush look wrong. The righties seem to be willing to let a lot of troops die so as to justify Bush's policies.

Over time, this year, the ground troops will be substituted with more and more air strikes. Mark it down. A drawdown is imminent.

Question becomes: can you achieve security in Iraq through air strikes?

No you can't keep it secure through air strikes. And if we would of been more aggressive at the beginning it would not of came to this. Sadly keeping Rumsfeld on has been Bush's biggest mistake through the whole war. The time is coming and very soon for the Iraqi's to stand on their own, we should of been more aggressive at the beginning and just maybe this would be closer to an end. But for trying to fight a PC war has probably cost us 1 more year of the war, and that falls on Bush himself and the terrorist sympathizers in this country who are more worried about their treatment, than our own interests.

Your polls are made up polls that you find on your extremist web sites in the MSM Right Wing Media, most others posted are linked to sources.

Harry, maybe the reason your posts are so simplistic and repetitive is because you only believe what you want to believe rather than face the truth. My impression is that you don't read much, since you seldom post links or quotes and rarely respond to the more serious challenges to your comments. At any rate, the polls posted here are from honest sources. You can dispute the methodology, but that requires you to use your brain. As far as your polls, you seem to simply make things up, which is another way of saying that you lie.

I suppose if Bush can use misinformation to accidentally start a war, you can use misinformation to make your case for Bush. Maybe someone out there will take you seriously. Try here, Harry Boy: http://www.weeklyreader.com/kids/speakout/
