2. Which "mission" the one that was presented before the invasion or
the 1/2 dozen or so changing justifications that have been presented since?

4. Done. That poll is straightforward enough and
pretty telling as to the current mindset out there. Now will MSNBC actually report the results?

8. Of course it is not worth it, but it doesn't matter what WE think
it's all about what the powers that be want, and they want Iraq's oil.

That's why were there for the long haul.

9. Done!
They say yes because they don't plan on going over there, or they profit from death.

10. Done.
You can bet that the ones that say it was worth it are not in the military and are either Bush* cronies, oil men, or someone who's making a killing in the arms market.

11. Hmmm. Curious that in THIS poll they have NO on top and YES
underneath? I don't have a study but most all polls I've seen all go YES then NO or their equivalent.

And you're right who the fuck would say yes, well besides bush*s true base, so nevermind I've got my answer.

17. Kick it up!
18% say yes? That must be the percentage of the population with an IQ less than 80.

18. The tone of the questions
seem to be changing. Remember how, not too long ago, all the questions were worded in such a way that there was no progressive answer choice? Dare we hope the worm has turned? The shark has been jumped?
