CNN Poll: 63% of Americans Oppose The War In Afghanistan

[PhillySane]

Poll conducted Dec 17-19 2010. Buried way down in their Political Ticker page. Old CNN can't break this as front page, but at least its out there.
Be nice to hear Mr. Spitzer get on this. Somebody. Anybody!

1. key word in your OP:

'buried'
...and so it shall remain...

[LiberalEsto]

2. But corporations want the war

What the people want doesn't mean squat

[PhillySane]

4. If you look at the tracking data

and allow for the 3% margin of error, I'd say we've been at 60% opposing since last May. The most recent assessment of the war last month, also buried in the news, was that we can't even hope to begin to pull out until 2015. When are we just going to pull the plug on this thing!!??

3. This WH wouldn't care less if 99% opposed

The war is a must-have - for the haves and have-mores.

9. Yep, Treasury-raiding must continue. nt

5. What about the war in Pakistan?

When are they gonna do a poll on that one?

[Nite Owl]

6. Polls only mean something

when they want them to!

[PhillySane]

8. Funny, isn't it

that 60% is filibuster proof in the US Senate. But 60% of the public doesn't amount to diddly squat.

7. So US troops marched into Tora Bora and captured/killed bin Laden

Never mind. I just get sick thinking about it.

10. I oppose Obama war against Afghanistan as well.

It is criminal and immoral.

11. It's only the War Profiteers that count or matter. What'll they have? n/t

12. Sill rabbit! Public opinion only matters when it supports shenanigans of the wealthy

If the public believes something out of step with the beltway or the wealthy then we are quickly are reminded about "mob rule", how we are a "Constitutional Republic not a democracy", or any number of distractions away from the relevancy of the public will.
