Would you believe that a whopping sixty percent of military families do not like how the President has handled Iraq?

Damn, I feel a whole lot better. I drive around post with a MoveOn.org anti-Iraq war sticker, and heretofore thought that everyone who got behind me was tearing chunks out of their steering wheel covers when they read my bumper. Instead, two-thirds of them are saying "mmmhmm". I am not the only car on post with the sticker, incidentally.

Now, knowing how some of these military folks are, I suspect a small percentage of that sixty are reasoning that Iraq is mishandled because the soldiers aren't allowed to 'win', which is code for 'kill every Iraqi they see until the country falls to its knees for mercy'. Still, these poll numbers are significant-often military families tend to support the chain of command blindly, similar to their soldier sons and daughters.

Bushie, when even the military families won't excuse you, just hang it up, fool.
