(Rasmussen) 39% Say U.S. Winning War on Terror(36% Say Terrorists Winning)

39% Say U.S. Winning War on Terror
36% Say Terrorists Winning


February 27, 2005--Just 39% of Americans now believe the U.S. and its allies are winning the War on Terror. That's down from 42% earlier this month and from 44% in January. With just one exception, this is the lowest level of confidence ever measured by Rasmussen Reports.

Even more dramatic is the fact that 36% now believe the terrorists are winning. That's up five points over the past two weeks and up ten points since our January survey.

A plurality of women and a majority of Democrats now believe the terrorists are winning.

...

It is likely that the recent decline is tied to concern about the Dubai Ports deal. Before that deal was announced, 43% of Americans believed the U.S. was safer than it was before the 9/11 attacks. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say it was not. Those numbers have reversed--just 38% now believe the U.S. is safter and 45% say it is not.

11. There is a "War for Empire" and Iraq is its
Stalingrad. Iran's 850,000+-man army waits right over the border and will encircle us, much like von Paulus' army was encircled at Stalingrad. Pity the poor private, corporal and sergeant the horrific fate that awaits them.

...complete with winning and losing sides, no less. The debate has been totally framed, the mass media is entirely complicit. There is no way out of the linguistic stranglehold.

8. What Kind of a Damn Fool Question Is That?
Sounds like the "when did you stop beating your wife" question. Presupposes the war on terror actually exists and can be won.
