Source: CBS News
Methodology: Telephone interviews with 1,136 American adults, conducted from Mar. 9 to Mar. 12, 2006. Margin of error is 3 per cent.

5. As W's lies come out the reasons reveal their shallowness

W is going to talk Monday on a functional town in Iraq. So? Is a functional Iraqi town worth 2,314 American troops death and the thousands and thousands deaths of Iraqis?

Chances are it was functioning better before our invasion and occupation.

I think Americans are now understanding there are no positives on this "war" other than for corporate globalists.

7. and even though we are pouring $200 B per year,

we aren't rebuilding the country that we blew up. "Shock and Awe" will be this gang's fate at The Hague!

6. after this "strategic" swarm operation fails

it'll be like 8/10 disapprove. And what's this "coalition effort?" That's the biggest mistake so far is not having a very broad coalition. Cheney and the war profiteers. Where's Bill Kristol these days?

9. "...to launch the coalition effort" -- LOL!

Even when the whole bloody lie is crashing down around them, the media still parrots these euphemisms!

Anyway, I'm pleased sense has finally caught up with a majority of Americans. What the hell took you so long?

11. How many of these people thought it was a great idea in the

beginning. I bet a bunch of the thought Shock and Awe was a real great idea.
