M. Moore Web: "Reality Gap Narrowing: Some Republicans Off the Kool-Aid"
...that's Moore's headline from his front page. The actual USA Today headline is "Poll: USA is losing patience on Iraq"...and a second article from Reuters, "GOP lawmakers urge new Iraq tack: Poll finds growing support for troop withdrawal"

http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/index.php?id=2979

WASHINGTON — Nearly six in 10 Americans say the United States should withdraw some or all of its troops from Iraq, a new Gallup Poll finds, the most downbeat view of the war since it began in 2003.

Patience for the war has dropped sharply as optimism about the Iraqi elections in January has ebbed and violence against U.S. troops hasn't abated. For the first time, a majority would be "upset" if President Bush sent more troops. A new low, 36%, say troop levels should be maintained or increased.

The souring of public opinion presents challenges for the president, who has vowed to stay the course until democracy is established and Iraqi forces can ensure security. He hasn't suggested sending more U.S. troops.

"We have reached a tipping point," says Ronald Spector, a military historian at George Washington University. "Even some of those who thought it was a great idea to get rid of Saddam (Hussein) are saying, 'I want our troops home.' "

2. I think this is true.

The media is talking memo/minutes, along with the 1700+ who have died for these lies. They can't be ignored anymore.
