$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Z')ogby Poll: 52% Support U.S. Military Strike Against Iran


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'h')ttp://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1379


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')espite President Bush’s perpetually abysmal approval ratings, it appears his increasingly hostile rhetoric against Iran has drummed up enough fear of a “nuclear holocaust” or a World War III that a majority of Americans are in favor of a US strike against the country aimed a curtailing its apparent nuclear ambitions, a new poll shows.

The Zogby International survey shows 52 percent of Americans would support a strike on Iran, while 53 percent expect President Bush to launch such an attack before the end of his second term. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton is voters’ No. 1 choice to deal with Iran, with 21 percent saying they would like to see her take on Tehran from the White House. Republican Rudy Giuliani was voters’ second choice, with 15 percent.

Oh, I am all for WWIII if they can avoid bombing the hell out of me.

Somehow the population of the world has to decline, right?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Close to half (48%) agrees the U.S. government and 9/11 Commission are not covering up anything, yet nearly as many (42%) believe the government and 9/11 Commission are covering up. One in ten (10%) is unsure



$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')A plurality (43%) is not aware of World Trade Center Building 7's collapse. Nearly as many (38%), though, are aware of it and think the Commission should have investigated it. People are least likely to be aware of the building’s collapse and think the Commission was right to investigate just the Twin Towers' collapse (14%).

Pluralities in many sub-groups are not aware of World Trade Center Building 7's collapse. This includes Republicans and independents, adults 30 and older, whites, residents of the East and Central/Great Lakes regions, and women.

By the time the USA attacks Iran most Americans will believe Iran was responsible for 911. I wouldn't be surprised if we're getting close to half believing this already.

After all, it worked last time.

I recently read a study funded by The weekly standard and the heritage foundation that said 4 out of 5 scientists agree that Iran is heavily populated by the Devil's offspring and convicted child molesters. Most of whom have taken sacred oaths to kill Americans.And some of you don't want to incinerate them , Sheeesh ! The nerve .
Perhaps the population would be less swayed to socialism if we had fewer examples of socialism from our "Free Market Capitalists". -----fiddler dave

Wow. I'd really like to see questions like "What level of education have you achieved" added to those polls. Or even better "Have you ever had your median IQ tested? What was it?"

Wait - even simpler: "Do you read?"

That should take the "noise" out of the stats. Jeeze. I'm awed by the seemingly systemic stupidity.

It seems to me that Americans 'at large' need a figurative 2x4 upside the head to wake up.

As much as I am personally opposed to first strike attack on Iran, the doomer in me wishes they'd quit talking about it and just do it.

When gas goes to either $9/gallon or unavailable, that may be enough of a wakeup call for the masses to demand change from Washington. A 2x4 upside the head so to speak.


Someone famous once said: "When a people fear their government there is oppression, when a government fears its people, there is liberty" or something to that affect.

I'm all for liberty. And justice for all. Including the myopic greedy bastards on both sides of the aisle that are currently running this country. Justice indeed.

Wait, you mean to tell me our government is distributing propoganda? Just like every other government does to its people? Seen the video of the Palestinian girls who want to blow up Israel? Where does that fall compared to what our news outlets do?

Who'd have thought America was the only country using propaganda to push an agenda. Guess you learn something new every day.....

Someone was interviewed on the local news last night who beleives that Amadenajad is responsible for 911.

Fox and CNN have been busy brainwashing America.

Tsar was da Bomb, however these days you're more likely to feel the impact of a MIRV.

Amazing shot of that jet slamming into the ground - and apparently it's not a Photoshop job: SU-27 fighter jet crashes.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A') SU-27 fighter jet crashes into a crowd of spectators at an air show July 27, 2002 in Lviv, Ukraine. The two crewmen ejected and survived, but at least 83 people on the ground are dead and 116 injured.
