Americans' reaction to Bush surge:ABC/Wash Post: 61% Reject Bush's Plan...CBS:68%
CBS:68% Uneasy About The President's Ability To Make Decisions About Iraq.

ABC/Washington Post:

Americans broadly reject President Bush's plan for a surge of U.S. forces into Iraq, with substantial majorities dismissing his arguments that it'll end the war more quickly and increase the odds of victory, an ABC News/Washington Post poll finds.

Indeed, rather than Bush bolstering public confidence, the national survey, conducted after his address to the nation on his new Iraq strategy, finds that a new high -- 57 percent -- think the United States is losing the war. Just 29 percent think it's winning.

CBS:
Fifty percent of those who saw the speech said they disapprove of the president's proposals, while 37 percent said they approve. Just one-third of those surveyed said they support Mr. Bush's call to send more than 20,000 additional troops to Iraq.

68 percent of Americans said they were uneasy about the president's ability to make decisions about Iraq.

2. The Slippery Slope has begun to crumble....
McKinney's motion in 109 Congress is beginning to slide toward the White House...reality is "just creating our own reality" until 75% of the world agrees you're nuts.
