Next stop, Tipping Point.....
Dear George: While you were out.....
) With U.S. troops continuing to take casualties in Iraq, less than half of Americans now believe the U.S. is in control of the situation there -- a dramatic decline from April, when 71 percent thought it was. Less than half now say Iraq was a threat that required immediate action. And while 54 percent still believe that removing Saddam Hussein from power was worth the costs of war, that figure, too, has declined from 65 percent in May.
A majority still believes the U.S. will eventually turn up weapons of mass destruction, but fewer are confident of this today than they were last month, and the public divides on whether the war will have been worth it if no weapons of mass destruction are found. For the first time a majority now says the Bush administration overestimated the extent of the Iraqis’ weapons.
Late addition: CBS News led their evening broadcast with the story that the CIA told the White House that the Niger info was bogus, but they used it in the State of the Union address anyway. View the video.
C'mon, America.... we know you can.... wake the fuck up, already.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
ZZZZZZZZZ. We're still sound asleep: we have a national snooze button on our collective alarm clock.
