Confidence in Iraq Slipping
I get my first taste of news in the morning from Comcast's
homepage. I read the intriguing title above, and when I
clicked on the link, here is what I got: "Content unavailable".

That has never happened before, Hmmmm.....maybe that wacky
Liberal controlled news media? Did anyone else happen to
read this article, before it became "unavailable"?

2. the story is everywhere now if you google "Confidence in Iraq"
snip
"Some of the larger declines in optimism came among Southerners, Northeasterners, rural Americans and women 45 and over. Other groups that showed a significant decline were those with incomes between $25,000 and $50,000 a year, young men, those without college educations - groups very likely to know people serving in Iraq. "The trend in public opinion about the war has been steadily coming down for two years," said Charles Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who has been closely watching the trends. "The presidential campaign halted the slide. It tended to connect feelings about Iraq to how people were voting.

"Now that the election is over, people have a more independent view of the war," Franklin said.

Some acknowledge losing that earlier optimism."

3. Southerners, Northeasterners, rural, women,
that doesn't leave many out, does it? Oh, other than the people lining their pockets because of the war. :eyes:
