Have you been listening as you’ve watched the Democrat presidential campaign, that neither Clinton nor Obama are mentioning Iraq anymore?
Maybe in a debate it might come up. “We gotta get out. We gotta get out.”
From Politico.com today:
“American public support for the military effort in Iraq has reached a high point unseen since the summer of 2006,” almost two years ago. This, they say, is “a development that promises to reshape the political landscape.”
“According to late February polling conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press…” According to polling by Pew, 53% of Americans “now believe ‘the US will ultimately succeed in achieving its goals’ in Iraq. That figure is up from 42 percent in September 2007.” So that’s up 11 points. That’s why the Media isn’t re not talking about it…
The American people have done a 180.
This is due to Petraeus, it is due to our military, and it is due to George W. Bush. The media are not happy about this.
The Associated Press. How does this even become a story? “Fewer people know how many US troops have died in the war in Iraq…” “Only 28 percent correctly said that about 4,000 Americans have died in the war, according to a survey by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. … Exit polls of voters in presidential primaries and many national surveys have shown the economy has displaced the war in recent weeks as the public’s choice as the nation’s top problem.”
They’re so mad! They are so mad; they are frothing. You don’t read ’em! You’re not paying attention to the death toll! That’s what they base their entire effort to kill the war and get defeat; — and you didn’t listen, because you didn’t care, because you had the whole thing in perspective.
Shocking only to the clueless liberal media.
