Remember, first and foremost, this is a PROPOGANDA WAR. How much can I win, betting that CBS did not mention this CBS published FACT while polling???

Well there’s a surprise. With the media slamming the public with non-stop negative news stories and ignoring the positive reports, I’m shocked it isn’t closer to 90%.

Ernie Pyle and Bill Mauldin must be spinning in their graves.

All this poll shows is exactly how ignorant the public is of the situation in Iraq. It's a measure of how successful the enemedia have been in shaping how our efforts are perceived.

We are doing badly in the war on only one front--the propaganda front--where we are losing badly.

Report only bad things about the war and the sheeple will believe it is going badly. (MSM mantra)

Is there such a thing as a war going really well?
I thought ALL wars were hell.

when is the stupid liberal media going to understand that President Bush will not give a damn about the polls. He is a Leader and will fight the terrorists till the end, and until we win.

What was CBS’s poll results about the success of our war in Somalia?

Did they even bother to run one?

The people most likely to comply with a CBS/NYT poll are the most badly informed people who would not be asked their “expert” opinion otherwise.

76% rely on Brian Williams to TELL them WHAT to THINK.

>76% Say War’s Going Badly because they watch CBS, and don’t know any better. All this shows is CBS’ bias.<

Aw, come on, Angel. You stole my thunder. :o)

Gee, by August not ONE PERSON in America will think the war is going well.

“The results of a recent CBS News Poll indicate that NO Americans think the war in Iraq is going well.

“Meanwhile, 100% of Americans think going to war was a mistake.”

That’s the lead I’m waiting for.

Oh brother.

You know if someone called me and said do you think the war is going bad i would say yes. But do i think its going bad because we are losing no.

Its going bad because the congress is embolding the enemy
Its going bad because we are not fighting to win
its going badly because the liberal lawyers are suing soilders
Is going badly becasue we are whining about underware on heads of prisoners while we ignore that prisoners from ourside seems to lose theirs, as in have it chopped off with a simitar.
And its going badly because of polls like this slashed across the media that telegraph an airre of defeat to our enemy

So do i think its going bad yes. But not becaus we are losing but because we aren’t fighting to win.

Don’t you just hate polls that are reported or conducted like this.

It is probably about 76% that think Baghdad encompasses the whole of Iraq.

CBS? Weren’t they a big station once, until their chief correspondent was found to be lying about documents?

Unfortunately, most of those who could not find Iraq on a map are likely those who support the war.
