Iraq Support Waning

Well it was bound to happen:

Support for Bush's Iraq policy dives after Katrina
"U.S. public support for President George W. Bush's Iraq policy has nosedived in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina...

...A Gallup poll published on Monday found 66 percent of respondents favored the immediate withdrawal of some or all of the U.S. troops in Iraq, a 10 percentage point jump in two weeks."
Wow, a 10% increase in two weeks. That is saying something.
"For many Americans, the connection between Katrina and Iraq comes down to one word -- money.

"Americans want to attend to the needs of people at home before we take care of people overseas," said Steven Wayne, a political scientist at Georgetown University."
Yeah, at some point we have to stop just borrowing, borrowing, borrowing from our future. Good god.

Ok I am tired good night.
