Public's doubts grow about Iraq war
By Mark Silva and Mike Dorning

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — As surely as sweet-corn stands and rolling farmland give way to the boxlike tract housing of new suburbs here, President Bush is losing ground on the battlefield of public opinion when it comes to the war in Iraq.

Even among Republicans who cheered the invasion of Iraq two years ago, and some who supported Bush's re-election and his exhortation to "stay the course," the ongoing loss of American lives without a clear course for withdrawal is taking a toll.

Growing opposition to the conflict, as well as a diminishing sense that it is making Americans safer from terrorism at home, is reflected in an array of recent opinion polls.

It also resounds in a series of interviews with voters, from the blossoming suburbs and withering steel-mill warrens outside Pittsburgh to the old cotton-mill country and military-minded precincts of South Carolina. Frustration and perplexity are voiced from Southern California to Terre Haute, Ind.

1. I think the thing that's killing Chimpy on this

is that after years of having right wing loonies all over the boob tube gush about how manly, brave and tough pResident Weakenstupid is, he's been revealed to be one cowardly piece of shit, terrified of a middle aged lady.

You might recall Clinton got told off to his face in public by the father of someone killed Somalia and took it...(and as I recall right wingers were attacking him for that)...
