Interestingly Angelie Jolie a UN dignatory no less (and seemingly a Sean Penn liberal) has recently reported that the men she has talked to want to finish the job. That for the first time the UN can safely ramp up their work.
As the press reports overwhelmingly the American people are against the War. Like anyone is for war. It’s a loaded question.
However asked in polls if they agree that the US should unilaterally exit Iraq. Only 15% agreed.
American Solutions is releasing new polling data that show that by a three-to-one margin (71 to 23), Americans believe Congress should have taken action before leaving Washington to make sure the Protect America Act did not expire.
Additionally, the data show that Americans agree by a 3.5-to-one margin (74 to 21) that companies that assist the United States government in tracking down terrorists should be protected from lawsuits related to that assistance. This is one of the core issues at stake in the debate over the Protect America Act, as Pelosi and the left-wing House Majority’s leadership have chosen to side with the trial lawyers over our safety.
