[Dracos]

Do you agree with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that the Iraq war is "the worst foreign policy mistake" in U.S. history?http://www.cnn.com/

[dipsydoodle]

1. 62% yes

Keep on voting. :)

[goclark]

2. 62% say yes, we can make it higher than that -kick

I just heard a shill on CNN saying that the Democrats didn't have the votes do make any difference.

3. There is Another Thread

There is another thread here in General Discussion that discusses this CNN poll.

7. I don't know who posted first

and don't really care the main thing I want is for people to VOTE.

[Richard Steele]

4. Done. 22,067 votes; 62% 'yes'.

[Ian David]

5. Poll sucks. Only choices are "Yes" or "No."

There's no option for "FUCK Yes!"

[unblock]

6. man, do they ever ask idiotic questions, idiotically phrased!

first, i thought reid said that it was the proposed escalation that was the worst foreign policy mistake in u.s. history, not the iraq war as a whole.

second, why phrase it in such a way as to permit quibbling over whether or not he might have exaggerated a bit?

mention the reid quote, then ask "is the proposed escalation a foreign policy mistake?"

i hate those cnn polls!

8. exactly

that's why I didn't vote in it.

Is Iraq a mistake? Hell yes. Is it a huge mistake? Double-hell yeah. But is it the BIGGEST foreign policy mistake in all of US history? No. at least not yet.

[baldguy]

9. Mistake? What mistake?

The situation in Iraq has developed exactly the way the neocons planned.

10. Looks like it's been Freeped

because 38% aren't that stupid.

They're not able to summon the same numbers they could 5 years ago, though.

[Richard Steele]

13. Bear in mind, those 38% aren't necessarily saying it wasn't a mistake....

...just not the BIGGEST mistake in history.

And I'll grant that they could make a case for
other mistakes being worse. I may not AGREE, but
I'll grant that they could make the case.

[Marr]

11. Yes, except it wasn't a "mistake".

The lies were intentional and the chaos simply ignored.

[DesertRat]

12. Done

:kick:

14. Here's my favorite CNN poll .....

I think it says a lot about public confidence in the corrupt BushCo administration. And it was taken just about a year ago, BTW.

[Flubadubya]

15. They have just changed the question...

It's now, "Should Prince Harry to to war in Iraq? 0% to 0% right now.
