Bush Asks for Patience on Iraq
By JENNIFER LOVEN, AP

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (June 28) - President Bush on Tuesday rejected suggestions that he set a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq or send in more troops, counseling patience for Americans who question the war's painful costs.

"Is the sacrifice worth it? It is worth it and it is vital to the security of our country," Bush told a nation increasingly doubtful about the toll of the 27-month-old war.

1. Looks like opposing the war is becoming popular now.

2. Aw man, now they're going to commercialize it
and it won't be cool to be anti-war anymore. That happens to every "scene" I'm into.

</sarcasm>

7. Talk about polarization
Poor 52%
Excellent 28%


I was originally taught statistics by my Grade 6 teacher. The school board had insisted that the marks follow the Bell Curve and the actual marks wouldn't (we had five geniuses, a couple more who were close, a whole bunch of kids who needed special ed AND NOBODY IN THE MIDDLE). I've kept up ever since.

When you see an inverse curve like that you just know somethings up.

8. What makes it more amazing...this is an AOL poll.
The same AOL whose Electoral Vote map the day before the election predicted Kerry only would get FOUR electoral votes in the entire U.S.?!

If AOL numbers on Shrub's speech are this low, you can be sure it's MUCH worse. Shrub's "tanking" big time.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
