Is it unpatriotic to question the president's Iraq policy while troops ar
The current poll on the main page at CNN.com is "Is it unpatriotic to question the president's Iraq policy while troops are still fighting there?"

Go vote. :-)

3. Voted, but ...
... what is the alternative answer? Is it: "No, we should just keep letting soldiers die in Iraq, and argue about it later?"

6. That was my point.
If it is 'unpatriotic' to argue the point now, it means that Americans should just keep their mouths shut ... until when? Until there are no more able-bodied souls to send to Iraq? Until the US is so financially decimated, they can't afford to send another soldier?

The time to speak out is NOW; the entire point becomes moot after-the-fact.

5. I won't vote.
A cheap question unworthy of CNN. Of course it is not unpatriotic, and this is not subject to popular opinion. It is subject to the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Let the Freepers vote on this abysmal question. Cheap stunt, more Faux News than CNN.
