3. Well, at least only 3% said "Huh?"

:)

4. I voted Yes, but I'm having second thoughts on this now....

...because if Bush decides it's good for his image to meet Cindy Sheehan, she should probably walk away rather than give him and his public that satisfaction. Or maybe confront him with the question, "Why now after two and a half months?". Here are the latest poll results:

16. Hmmm... navigation bar link at top of Newsweek web page says "War ON Iraq"

I would agree with that- it is a war ON Iraq.

Medi outlets like CNN, MSNBC and NBC always caption Iraqi war news pieces with: "War for Iraq". This has always stunk to high heaven of WH propaganda to me. It didn't start as a war FOR Iraq, did it? It was a war to prevent the so-called imminent mushroom cloud... it MORPHED into a war FOR Iraq per WH propaganda after the WMD ruse was revealed. The media echo chamber was only too happy to lap up the BS and spew it back at the public.

I also see the Newsweek logo has the caption "War IN Iraq" beside it- do these subtle shifts in language reflect public disapproval of Bush and his sh*tty war, or am I reading too much into it?
