Opposition to Troop Increase Unchanged After Bush's Iraq Speech

No one I know wants to see our troops go without the money it takes to support them, while they are in harms way, unlike the Bush administration, who couldn't get it together, and still can't, apparently, to give them the equipment they needed from day one.

I don't want to hear another word from the Bushites about support of the troops, when it has been them, who have not supported the troops, either in theater or at home!

Opposition to Troop Increase Unchanged After Bush's Iraq Speech:

GALLUP NEWS SERVICE:

PRINCETON, NJ : There has been little change in the publics' overall attitudes toward the Iraq war and the administration's proposed plans for an increase in troops in the days following President George W. Bush's speech to the nation this past Wednesday.

Americans continue to oppose, by a 59% to 38% margin, President Bush's plan to increase troops in Iraq. Americans remain unconvinced that it is necessary to send new troops to Iraq to gain victory, as Bush argued, and a majority favors withdrawal of troops within one year. Most Americans continue to say the costs of the war outweigh the benefits of succeeding in Iraq, and a majority of Americans also continue to say it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq initially.

Americans are split on the issue of congressional action that would block funds for the deployment of additional troops. Although, there is majority approval for a non-binding congressional resolution voicing opposition to the surge in troops.

These results are from the weekend USA Today/Gallup poll, conducted Jan. 12-14, 2007.

It is clear that no one is listening to Junior anymore!
