    Default Even Republicans Now View The Iraq War As A Failure

    Tom Kludt– January 31, 2014, 8:32 AM EST4384


    Republicans are finally done defending the Iraq war.


    GOP voters spent years applying a positive spin to the central part of George W. Bush's legacy, but a poll released Friday revealed a significant shift in public opinion.
    The key detail from the latest USA Today/Pew Research Center poll:
    The biggest shift in attitudes toward the Iraq War came among Republicans and those who lean to the GOP. In 2011, 65% of them said the war had succeeded; now just 38% do. A double-digit gap between Republican and Democrat views in 2011 has now been largely erased.
    But the poll showed that 52 percent of Republicans still believe it was the right decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

    Overall, 52 percent of Americans said that the U.S. has mostly failed to achieve its goals in Iraq — a change from 2011, when 56 percent said the U.S. had mostly succeeded.

    LMAO @USA Today and their efforts to manipulate public opinion.

    The only way Iraq can be a failure is if Obummer allows it to be by running away from it in similar fashion to how DypunceoCrats acted during Vietnam.

    Why are Democrats so invested in failure and losers?
    "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."


    A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.
