N.C. support for war eroding

Fewer than half of voters surveyed say the threat posed by Iraq warranted going to war, according to a statewide poll conducted this month for a partnership of The News & Observer, WRAL-TV and WUNC radio.

Of those polled June 13 through June 16, 48 percent said the situation in Iraq was worth going to war over and 44 percent said it wasn't, while the rest weren't sure. The survey, conducted by Research 2000 of Rockville, Md., has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

For the first time, The N&O's poll asked about how well President Bush is handling the situation in Iraq. North Carolina voters are divided: 46 percent said he was doing a good job, and 44 percent said he wasn't. Nationwide, 41 percent of Americans gave Bush good marks and 57 percent disapproved of how he was handling Iraq, the Gallup poll found.

2. i don't understand

How can people in a growing number of polls indicate that the war wasn't worth it, yet still believe that Iraq was responsible for 911.

The two don't make sense.

9. Lots of dead marines, a bona fide war criminal roaming freely

around Ft. Bragg, and a bona fide mercenary war criminal on trial in Raleigh. It's like frikkin' Jerry Springer around here.
