Iraqis Are Being Slaughtered For Poll Numbers

[ThomWV]

Don't be fooled for a second, the only reason the largest air assault in the war in Iraq has been launched at this moment is to bolster George W. Bush's poll numbers. This is murder, no more and no less.

1. NO WAY!!!

[stop the bleeding]

2. No they are being slaughtered for Iraqi Freedom - remember

Jeez I think I am gonna be sick, I can not stand to think my tax$$ are killing all sorts of people right now while I type on this message board.

3. Freepers are digging it. "It'll break the back of the insurgency for sure"

4. It's so blantantly obvious

that that is what this latest strike is about.

I guess Bush figured it was time to remind the American people that "WE'RE AT WAR! GODDAMNIT! RESPECT MY AUTHORITY! I so need a boost right now."

This isn't going to win the hearts and minds of the IRaqi people and if anyone here is really paying attention, it should be winning our hearts and minds either.

5. That formula hopefully wont work this time.

Back in those heady days in 2001-2004 when Dumbya was being kissed on the tushy bipartisanly and the media and sh*t pundits were calling him strong, resolute and honest leader, no one was challenging him.
Its a different ball game now. Many in the media have woken up.
His polls will remain stuck in the low 30s.

6. Also add in the Terra Alert for the San Diego Convention Center

A bomb scare... Lot's of scary pictures of bomb squad and bomb dogs.. You know, just enough to remind everyone we are in fear of our lives....

7. It's a brain dead policy for brain dead people

but hey, it makes the warmongers happy. The defense industry is making money.

16. It seems to me that the percentage of Americans who are

"brain dead" is decreasing.

17. Hey, as long as there is life, there is hope. And I hope you are right.

8. This won't help his approval ratings

imo.

[Richardo]

9. I agree.

He's not fooling anyone but his base. And they WANT to be fooled.

[IsItJustMe]

10. No it won't. Its more of the same. We have seen it before. But the msm

will whip it up for what it's worth.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. You're Correct

The war is one reason they're so low now. The preponderance of the people no longer support the war or its purpose. Escalating it will just anger that 65%.

11. But Bush is already on record as not ordering it or even knowing about it

The Generals did it.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. WAG THE DOG........it's back!

[obnoxiousdrunk]

14. Why do you hate Murika ?

[RDANGELO]

15. At this point the only thing this will accomplish is to make the

insurgency stronger.

18. Iraq is KKKarl's political Piggy Bank!

War pResidents make good GOP fund raisers.
