7. the way the poll is phrased
if monkeys voted at random all day long, 67% would be "winning or making progress". Typical whorish poll msrnc

8. Don't they mean:
Edited on Mon Aug-09-04 11:16 AM by DODI
the struggle against ideological extremists who do not believe in free societies who happen to use terror as a weapon to try to shake the conscience of the free world?

11. That probably is what they mean

20. If you can't see the link, go to www.cnbc.com
and look down the middle of the page until you see the words "Power Poll: How is the War on Terror Going?"

21. try disabling your firewall.
I just discovered that Norton Internet Security is preventing the link from being displayed. Frankly, it makes no sense to me, and I will probably spend the better part of the morning trying to figure out how to config to allow for the links.

24. Me either, it's never done that before
I guess like Jon Stewart said, Norton is drawing a line in the sand,it's objecting to CNBC on moral grounds.

28. Thanks to all. "Losing Ground" was at 44% or 45% at the point
the CNBC Whore-Guy (who in announcing the poll spent about 30 seconds recounting some stunning recent "victories" in the war on TERRA TERRA TERRA!, blipped the poll results.

I think he read a couple of emails that could have been from DUers too.
