1. Hmm, maybe those BS prewar polls WEREN'T RELEVANT

Polls showed 70% of Americans supported the war. Of course, if you included the phrase "significant US casualties" the numbers dropped drastically. So I guess the media types cheering for the war figured we'd get in, get out, and nobody would get hurt, right? Right?

:mad:

2. I was in school during the Watergate fiasco

and this is how Nixon went down. It's the COVERUP that will make these numbers go down.

3. Not to worry

As soon as the number of casualties starts dropping, Bush's poll numbers will soar back up into the stratosphere where they belong!

4. They won't drop, though. That is the hellish

part of this whole biz. There are some Baathist
holidays coming and they plan large scale murder
for them.

God help us all.

5. Shoulda put in a smiley face, I guess

Yes, I realize that unlike the video games Shrubby so likes to play, the dead don't come back to life, and the wounded and injured will carry physical and psychological scars the rest of their lives.

I hope these bloodthirsty bastards have to drink the full cup they've poured, right down to the dregs.
