Let's Get It Over With
The Washington Times reports on a recent Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll that asks a question I haven't seen before: "Do you agree or disagree with the statement, 'It's time to get it over with in Iraq and stop the uncertainty' ?" In response, 56% agreed, and 34% disagreed.
In a separate Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll released yesterday, 71% supported "U.S. military action to disarm Iraq and remove Iraqi President Saddam."
The Times takes a more optimistic view than I do on the effect of the U.N. detour, saying that: "Few on Capitol Hill are apt to say that Mr. Bush erred with his months-long courting of the United Nations — even those who thought it was a bad idea at the time. They argue now that any delays caused by U.N. debates haven't hurt the war effort, but helped buy time for the massive troop buildup still under way."
