And Rasmussen is considered more of a conservative-friendly pollster, I've always heard.

49% Say Bush Responsible for Provoking Iraq War
44% Say Hussein
Survey of 1,000 Adults

June 20-21, 2005

June 23, 2005--Forty-nine percent (49%) of Americans say that President Bush is more responsible for starting the War with Iraq than Saddam Hussein. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 44% take the opposite view and believe Hussein shoulders most of the responsibility.

In late 2002, months before the fighting began, most Americans thought that Hussein was the one provoking the War. Just one-in-four thought the President was doing the provoking at that time.

I think the next chapter in Bush's wag-the-dog is going to be gays? What do you think? We ought to have a bookie run the numbers - who's the next innocent target of Bush's attempt to distract attention from his plummeting poll numbers, nearly 1800 dead Americans in Iraq, and the fact that the Downing Street Memo proves he lied to Congress and the American people in order to trick us into going to war in Iraq?

3. I think that Americans would have gotten it sooner, if Bush* actually had

to face the real public, instead of his sanitized crowds.

4. That's a Scary Question

When you said "I think the next chapter in Bush's wag-the-dog is going to be gays? What do you think?" I believe you are correct. What scares me most is the notion that the President is out shopping for the most effective innocent group to maligne in his quest for self preservation.
