White House press secretary Tony Snow dismissing the low public support for the Iraq war:

"If somebody had taken a poll in the Battle of the Bulge, I dare say people would have said, 'Wow, my goodness, what are we doing here?'"

Talking Points Memo at http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com notes that somebody did take a poll.

The government polled throughout World War II.

Support for staying the course remained steady at more than 70 percent during the Battle of the Bulge.

Meanwhile, back to Iraq, wow, my goodness, what are we doing here?

2. Maybe the Bushies and the Snows were in the 30%

who didn't "get" why we fought WWII. After all, didn't some of the Bushies make money by supporting the NAZIs or at least tried to make money supporting the NAZIs?

3. This was the smartest guy they could find to be press secretary?

Great employee pool they must have had.
