I agree withDean Barnett that this poll is depressing:
Do you personally want the Iraq plan President Bush announced last week to succeed?
Overall: 63% Yes 22% No 15% Don’t Know
Democrats: 51% Yes 34% No 15% Don’t Know
Republicans: 79% Yes 11% No 10% Don’t Know
Independents 63% Yes 19% No 17% Don’t Know
I wonder how many of the "no" respondents thought that if we fail in Iraq, that would stop us from taking on another country (such as Iran) or because it's "Bush's war?"
Either way, it's shocking, sad and ignorant. We can't fail in Iraq, it's not an option because this is not Vietnam. If we leave, the war continues, we don't get to end it. The enemy does.
