The CNN poll, conducted April 21-23 by Opinion Research Corporation, found that only 9 percent thought the U.S. mission in Iraq had been accomplished, while 40 percent believed it would be complete someday.
An additional 44 percent said the United States would never accomplish its goals in Iraq, where American troops are still battling insurgents three years after the invasion that toppled former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
What, only nine percent of Americans believe our brave commander-in-chief?
Looking back, how ridiculous was it for Mr. Bush to play pilot and strut around on the USS Abraham Lincoln? Imagine how silly he would look if he tried something like that today.
