The Media Marginalizes The American People...
Here is another example of the Media marginalizing the views of the American People:

Americans are not necessarily intent on getting all U.S. troops out right away, the poll indicated. The survey found strong support for a two-year timetable if that's what it took to get U.S. troops out. Seventy-one percent said they would favor a two-year timeline from now until sometime in 2008, but when people are asked instead about a six-month timeline for withdrawal that number drops to 60 percent. Public opinion expert Karlyn Bowman of the conservative American Enterprise Institute said stronger support for the longer timetable could reflect a realization that it takes time to change strategy.

1. Corporate Media (CM) playing
the spin game big time with the ISG report, complete with bogus polls of the marginalized American people. The election results have made it clear and the ISG report points out that the Troops need to get OUT, NOW!

Not 2 years of more dead/injured US soldiers for a illegal invasion with no plans of any sort, enough with this madness, bring the Troops home now!

I am sick and tired of all these "experts" trotted out from think tanks to explain what we Americans want and don't want! That's what elections are for! Americans have spoken clear enough for the government to know what we want. They just don't really give a sh*t.
