New Poll: Opposition to the war in Iraq has reached an all-time high.

Just when we discover the intensity of opposition to the Bush presidency within the American people, comes this news:

Opposition to the war in Iraq has reached an all-time high, according to the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll released Thursday morning.

Support for the war in Iraq has dropped to 31 percent and the 68 percent who oppose the war is a new record.


Despite the drop in violence in Iraq, only one quarter of Americans believes the U.S. is winning the war. There has been virtually no change in the past month in the number of Americans who believe that things are going badly for the U.S. in the war in Iraq.

The public also opposes U.S. military action against Iran. Sixty-three percent oppose air strikes on Iran, while 73 percent oppose using ground troops as well as air strikes in that country.

Overall, 56 percent, of Americans are dissatisfied with progress in the war on terrorism.
And that's despite Petraeus and others constantly telling Americans that "the surge is working" and, at long last, victory is simply over the next hill.

The more they try to sell that turd, the less Americans are buying it... Nor have they been having any success it would seem trying to sell Ahmadinejad as the "new Hitler".

Bush did, himself, once mangle: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

And it appears the American people are not being fooled a second time...
