Over 50% (some polls are at 60% and greater) of the public disapproves of the Iraq War. 73% in the ABC poll say the casualties are unnaceptable..and the numbers continue to increase every day.
Look at these poll numbers. And this is only ABC; CBS, CNN, Time all report the same numbers. Seems like every day now, someone in the GOP is calling for withdrawal, or making a statement critical of the war. So where are the Dem voices? Sure, there are a few like Conyers, but other than that...there is either silence or worse, for example "pro-war" Hillary Clinton. Dem leaders should be calling for an end to this war. Instead, they are letting Republicans sound like the friggin anti-war party.
