'It's People Dying for No Benefit'

If there was one constituency President Bush could count on to back the war in Iraq through the past four years, it was members of the military. Now, their support is also ebbing. A poll conducted recently by Army Times, a commercial publication, showed only 35 percent of service members approve of the way Bush is handling the war, down from 63 percent in 2004. When asked if success in Iraq was likely, 50 percent said yes, compared to 83 percent two years ago.
Give it to Bush. He shouldn't have taken us there in the first place and now even those who have had no choice in the past to disagree with his shameless war, are against him.
