America divided????
Edited on Tue Jan-16-07 04:47 PM by jmauller
These people still think Americans support their war.

Congress' Iraq step could show division: W. House

The White House said on Tuesday a planned congressional resolution against
President George W. Bush's U.S. troop increase in
Iraq could send a signal to the world that America is divided on the war.

1. Well, we certainly wouldn't want the world to see the obvious.
As if they can't tune-in to CNN, the BBC, or any number of other media.

2. Ya think?
It is pretty clear that amerika is not divided in any meaningful sense of the word, we are now united in our disdain for the oil war.:dunce:

3. Unfortunately many people think that divided means 50-50.
We are divided about 70-30 against the war.

4. They are trying the talking points, scare tactics and fear mongering.
They say the world will think we are divided. Well, duh, we are and they know.
But, the white house still stays on script no matter what.

5. Americans are united, Mr. President.
70% of Americans are against the war in Iraq.
Only 11% support escalating the war there.
Please don't give us that old "dissent aids
America's enemies" crap!
