Poll: Most Doubt Iraq Peace, Iran Threat

Seems Americans have, indeed, awakened from their propaganda induced comas, and are at long last, paying attention.

wfrv.com - Poll: Most Doubt Iraq Peace, Iran Threat:

CBS News) NEW YORK - Two-thirds of Americans say the fighting in Iraq may be beyond the U.S. military's ability to control, according to the latest CBS News poll. Just 25 percent say the military can be effective in lessening the violence between Iraqis.

The war continues to take a toll on opinions about President Bush – his approval rating for handling Iraq is just 27 percent, and his overall job approval is just 32 percent – but the public is divided when it comes to what Congress should do about the war.

While 63 percent disapprove of the president's plan to send more troops to Iraq, there's a nearly even split on whether Congress should pass a nonbinding resolution expressing disapproval of the troop buildup: 44 percent favor passage of the measure and 45 percent are opposed.
