Since Bush brags about his aversion for reading, I can only wonder if he also has the same distaste for basic math. These matters are of interest today because his application of two of the proberbial 3 R's would bring decidedly bad news for our less than stalwart Commander in Chief. In other words, the most recent polling numbers will most likely have Mama Bush once again chastising the "liberal media" for picking on her favorite son--read 'em and weep Bushies, one and all:
Amid continuing violence in Iraq and questions about the justification for the war, 54 percent of the 1,005 Americans polled said it was a mistake to send U.S. troops into Iraq, compared with 41 percent who held that view three weeks ago.
The findings mark the first time since Vietnam that a majority of Americans has called a major deployment of U.S. forces a mistake, USA Today reported on its Web site.
In addition, the poll found that for the first time a majority also said the war in Iraq has made the United States less safe from terrorism.
Fifty-five percent said the war has increased U.S. vulnerability, compared to a December poll in which 56 percent said the war made the United States safer.
