...and the stupidest response (in my opinion) among many....
"Bring our men home; let those people fight their own battles. If it wouldn't have been for a Bush in office, there would not have been 9/11. They were retaliating for what his father did."

What?

That poll was one of the most depressing things I have read in a long, long time.

If you add all the groups that support (or semi-support) victory, that faction carries the day with 45%.
Finish what was started/be more aggressive 18
Doing a good job/continue with your actions 7
Come up with and execute a well-thought-out exit strategy 6
Get them trained and let them run their own country 6
Build up the military/send more troops 4
Join in and work with the United Nations 3
Work with and improve advisory board
1
Improve the homeland security

The broken down percentages paint a picture that this is a partisan war. Why is it that when Democrats wage war, they can count on the support of most Republicans, but the reverse is rarely true? For instance, how could some Congressional Democrats oppose Grenada and the first Gulf War?
