Poll question: Should bush's wars be ended now, or allowed to go on forever?
Edited on Thu Feb-26-09 06:13 AM by Philosoraptor
Fuck bush's wars, they should end NOW.

Just as I feared, Obama seems to be extending bush's two wars indefinitely. Perhaps they'll never end. Perhaps they'll just drag on forever. There is absolutely no need to continue them, despite any arguments otherwise. And they should be ended immediately, not at some fuzzy date in the far future.

Am I in a big hurry? Yes. Am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. What's the hang up president Obama?

I know he's only just gotten into office and has had little time to correct bush's atrocities, but come on.

This is exactly the thing I feared, a reluctance to end bush's wars based on some bizarre fox news generated public opinion.

WE DON'T NEED BUSH'S WARS. End them now, not next year or several years down the road.

bush's wars are KILLING our nation like a dread disease, don't be a part of them president Obama, you're better than that, we're all better than that.

1. I've been channeling Howard Zinn the last year or so, so I'm in the get-the-fuck-out crowd. n/t

2. I wonder how long before someone comes in and votes no on the poll.
Hell, yes, they should end now. Enough is enough. Absolutely nothing good has been accomplished by Bush's incessant wars, torture, robbing, and pillaging. He had effectively put the whole world in a tailspin. And for what?

4. They are no longer Bush's wars.
They are now Obama's wars. Whether they end or continue is a decision that he and he alone will make. Just like in 1969, it became Nixon's Vietnam War instead of Johnson's Vietnam War.

5. I'm voting no, just because I don't like push polling
even if I happen to agree with the OP.

6. I think this could be considered a push poll.
I don't want to go out on a limb, but I think that the questions are a tad less than biased.
