"Do you think that Bush is responsible for the situation in Iraq?"

Seems like a poor 'Yes/No' question for a poll trully designed to elicit information, which it probably wasn't.

The answer could be "Yes, the situation would be much worse if Bush had not taken action to oust Saddam."

Yeah, the question is loaded. It assumed that Iraq is going to hell in a handbasket, and was a nice happy place with flowers and kites and children while Saddam was in power. If you assume both of those things, which the question does, then there is no answer other than that Bush is responsible for "the situation."

I wouldn't expect the MSM to ask someone how they thought things were going in Iraq, of course. And even if they did, the question would just be a different way of asking, "are we, the MSM, portraying the situation in Iraq as sufficiently hopeless?"

Friggin' useless polls.
