Poll: Bush hasn't made case for Iraq war

More than two-thirds of Americans believe the Bush administration has failed to make its case that a war against Iraq is justified...

Poll: Majority of Americans oppose unilateral action against Iraq

A robust majority of Americans - 83 percent - would support going to war if the United Nations backed the action and it was carried out by a multinational coalition. But without U.N. approval and allies, only about a third of the public would support a war with Iraq.

US Public Want to Give UN Inspectors More Time

Seven in 10 Americans would give U.N. weapons inspectors months more to pursue their arms search in Iraq, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that found growing doubts about an attack on Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Fifty-eight percent said they would like to see more evidence, and 71 percent said the United States should make public its own evidence if the U.N. inspectors can't find hard evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

In one clear sign of public caution on Iraq, 43 percent of respondents said the U.N. inspectors should have as much time as they like to scour Iraq. A quarter said the inspectors should have "a few months" or more. Another quarter supported a deadline of a few weeks or less for the inspections.

Just a reminder for those who still like to lie/deceive themselves that the majority of Americans supported George W. bUsh's war of aggression against the people of Iraq. A narrow majority rallied around the troops once the bombs were dropping on the children of Iraq...but there never was a majority support for bush's illegal invasion.

1. You constantly hear repeated on MSM that the majority of Americans supported the war.
The majority supported the war AFTER ground troops went in, which means nothing except that people didn't want to be seen as not supporting the troops.

Another lie, as egregious as the 'If we only knew then what we know now/Everyone thought he had WMD' lies.

Makes me sick.

2. That leftists/dissidents are "hateful" is about as truthful as deeming the corporate pre$$ "liberal"
More authoritarian projection: the left is hateful, attempts to censor the right, are crazy moonbat conspiracy theorists, etc. Everything they encompass/embody, they impute to others. It's part pathology, part stratagem.
