Needs to be much higher I think!

[EllaMinnow]

I just voted, and it's still 65% YES.

I'm on ZOGBY's internet polling list, and it drives me nuts that he has "War on Terrorism" and "War in Iraq" listed seperately in the "Choose the 2 Most Important Issues" section of the survey.
As far as I'm concerned, it's all the same issue!

[Coop]

Every time I've filled out Zogby's survey, I've marked "Other" and then typed in "The war in Iraq IS the war on terror!"

I almost made this comment on a thread on the Zogby poll today. It certainly shows his bias they they are listed as separate issues.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Good idea!

[HardStarboard]

We should also write, every chance we get, on every survey we find:

John Kerry - Doormat for Terrorism

Just in case the instructions above don't do the job.

The fact that anyone would answer "no" to this question is a testimony to the power of propaganda.

Even from the point of view of a war-skeptical lefty, look at the facts (as a lefty would see them):

1. To a lefty, this war should only be against "Al Qaeda" and nobody else. (If that.)

2. Multiple reports over the course of many months have placed "Al Qaeda" IN IRAQ as being behind the coordination of some portion of the attacks on our soldiers.

3. Not to mention the reports of high "Al Qaeda" people such as Zarqawi IN IRAQ.

Put them all together: lefties say "we can only fight 'Al Qaeda'". I say: okay fine but AL QAEDA IS IN IRAQ you moron.

Response: blank stare. "uh but we shouldn't have gone there" etc.

Fine fine but we're there now and AL QAEDA IS IN IRAQ.

Sheesh.

I don't even buy the idea that the war should only be against "Al Qaeda" in the first place, but even if I did, AL QAEDA IS IN IRAQ so Iraq would seem to be a perfectly valid place to fight them.

There is some bizarre mental block which prevents lefties from seeing obvious truths right in front of their faces, if this magical place "Iraq" is involved.
