One look at this survey and you just KNOW the results have been fudged. First, you find a whopping 62% of respondants say that Bush has failed to send enough troops to Iraq - the number one factor that has led to the present crisis. The poll also found that 42% said the National Guard and Reserve troops were not properly trained for Iraq
. 51% to 8% said they opposed the Bush administration's decision to prevent the media from photographing the flag-draped coffins of men and women killed in Iraq." Yet we are then supposed to believe that 63% these same people also "approve" of the way Bush is handling the war and 64% believe the war was worth it? C'mon! No one believes people in the military are this stupid or confused! What we hear from REAL SOLDIERS is that their NUMBER ONE frustration is that the US public is not hearing the truth. This poll adds just one more nail in truth's coffin.
The survey found that 62 percent of 655 respondents said the Bush administration underestimated the number of troops needed for the Iraq war and its aftermath. Thirty-three percent said the Bush administration made a ``reasonable judgment'' on the troop level.
By a margin of 63 percent to 33 percent, military personnel and their families said they approved of the way Bush was handling the Iraq conflict, and by a 64 percent to 32 percent margin they said it was worth going to war. The U.S. had about 143,000 troops in Iraq in May 2003 and now has about 138,000.
