Bush Approval Rating on Iraq Fell Since April, Harris Poll Says
July 21 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush's approval rating for his handling of Iraq fell as fewer U.S. adults are confident that U.S. policies there will be successful, according to a Harris Interactive survey.

Sixty-four percent of those polled gave Bush a negative rating for his handling of Iraq, up from 61 percent in May, while 34 percent had a positive assessment of Bush's actions in Iraq, Harris Interactive said in a statement distributed by PR Newswire. A year ago, 58 percent of Americans gave Bush a negative rating on Iraq, Harris Interactive said.

Less than a quarter of those polled, 23 percent, said they were confident the U.S. policies in Iraq would be successful, down from 26 percent in May, according to the poll. Last month, Bush's job approval rating was 45 percent, up from 44 percent in April and down from 50 percent a year earlier, according to the earlier poll on the Harris Interactive Web site.

Of those surveyed this month, 38 percent said invading Iraq was the right decision, down from 39 percent in May and 43 percent a year earlier, according to Harris.

1. let's see if we can get "impeach Bush" polls to this level and more
90% in favor of impeachment would look pretty good. We need to start brewing up some framing techniques or something for Abu Ghraib II.

Maybe something like "Republicans: soft on pedophilia" or similar would do.

The word needs to be spread about psyops, propaganda, false flag attacks, the fascist contingent, election fraud, and so on.

Psyops: Operation Mockingbird is a starting point, but going over the documented moles in the media and psyops techniques (e.g. repeating BS stories periodically from varying sources) will also help.

Propaganda: Recognizing the hallmarks of fabricated stories, such as anonymous sources, "unnamed administration officials," unverifiable claims, obfuscated retractions, and so on so people can recognize the BS when it gets spewed forth.

False flag attacks: Operation Northwoods, P2OG/Gladio, debunking the 9/11 commission report, and general political usage of false flag attacks to "shift politics to the right" (a.k.a. "away from Communism").

Fascism/AEI: What the AEI is, who's associated with it (Ledeen and Strauss in particular), the history of the "neoconservative movement," Allen Dulles' and the Bush family's Nazi connections, Klaus Barbie in 1980 and other Nazi war criminals taken on by the CIA post-WWII, and Cheney and Rumsfeld's perpetual White House and/or defense contractor involvement since Nixon.

Election fraud: International observer commentary, exit poll reliability, exit poll disparities, voter suppression, whistleblowers about vote-fixing, and Diebold/Triad bribes.

We can't just sit on all this, we need to get the stories out.

6. if the poll margin of error is 3 or 4 points
that means that his real numbers are in the 30's. Yep, let's get that impeachment poll rolling!
