“Many Americans say that their congressional representative’s position on the war will be an important factor in their congressional vote next year,” Gallup reports, “but most do not know what their representative’s position on the troop surge is.”

Given a list of options, 63% opted for the cap and withdrawal by the end of next year. Some 51% backed the anti-surge resolution. Fewer, 4 in 10, want to cut off funds for the surge.recourse

Surprisingly, 64% said they did not know what their representative’s stand on the surge is — but 42% said his or her position on the war would be a major factor in next year’s vote for re-election.

The poll was conducted Feb. 9-11.

So the Democratic Congress is against troop escalation, most of the Senate is against troop escalation (contrary to the recent vote) and the majority of Americans are against troop escalation. You know what that means then, SURGE! Please George please, for once listen to the people around you. All that non-listening has gotten you nowhere and more U.S. military have died. Yes, indeed there does need to be a change in Iraq, but that change begins with you my friend.

I do believe that President Bush honestly thinks that what he is doing is what is best for America in the war. I don’t think he’s evil or wants American soldiers to die as some have fomented. However it does seem that the only course of action here is to forcefully change his direction. If that involves taking away his money, then so be it.

It’s like being punished by mom when you were a kid, this is going to hurt us more than it is going to hurt you, but you’ve left us no other choice. And just wait until your father gets home.
