George W. Bush loses the support of his nation
08/06/2005 16:15
If the war in Iraq continues in 2008, it may become the key political factor of the presidential election

The US nation's approval of George W. Bush's political course has reached the all time low level during the president's stay in the office, Associated Press wrote with reference to a recent poll, which AP conducted with Ipsos Reid sociological agency. The research revealed that less than a half of American citizens were certain in the human honesty in their leader.

The majority of the polled Americans believe, however, that Bush is a strong leader, which the USA needs. On the other hand, an increasing number of US citizens think that Bush's self-confidence is based on his overestimated self-rating rather than on the adequate vision of political and economic matters.

About 45 percent of American nationals approved Bush's policy in Iraq during the first six months of 2005. The index dropped to 38 percent nowadays, which marked the lowest point of people's support that Bush has ever enjoyed. George W. Bush is losing the support of his citizens residing in the central and the western part of the USA.

In the meantime, US troops suffer unexampled losses in Iraq. Fourteen US servicemen were killed on Wednesday in the valley of the Euphrates River. It became the largest loss, which US forces have suffered in Iraq as a result of one battle only since the start of the Iraqi campaign in March of 2003.

Retired Rep. William Anderson believes that George W. Bush's intentions are correct, although the president has chosen a wrong way to execute them. According to Mr. Anderson, Iraq is only one of the problems, which receives extensive debate with a variety of contradictory viewpoints and claims. William Anderson does not exclude that the USA may have to deal with another Vietnam as a result of the ongoing discussion.

4. Pravda's talking about a former *rival* nation here.
So how does this lead to Pravda being better than our mainstream media? It doesn't matter that this is true. Fox News tells the truth when the truth benefits its agenda. Does that mean Fox News is anything more than the Pravda of the right?

5. Did I say Pravda was better? Nope.
But I stand by my comment that the US goernment is the leading propaganda machine in the world today.
