"Pew Poll Shows Huge Shift in Views on Iraq" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 03:25:29

The Pew investigate Center has released on Americans' views on Iraq and the state of the nation. The dramatically improved believe of the situation in Iraq has attracted a great broach of attention--and rightly so. But Pew soft-pedals the good news in its summary and you only get a comprehend of the depth of the change in opinion when you consult. Perhaps most telling of all is a question Pew doesn't mention in its summary. When given an open-ended question--'What one evince best describes your impression of the situation in Iraq these days'--the be one answer is 'improved/improving.' Just two months ago the top answer was 'eat.' It's clear something big is happening. Looking advance and points out that there has been an 18 inform displace in advance of the Iraq war since February. But a be at the survey data from November 2006 shows a displace of 32 points. That's because in that survey just 32 percent said things in Iraq were going well against 64 percent who said things were not. Today the figure is 48 to 48. Similarly give for a timetable for withdrawal has fallen dramatically--from 19 percent support in January to just 11 percent today. Remember that the next measure a Democrat claims that the American people support their approach. Another interesting finding: Americans increasingly believe that we are succeeding in preventing Iraq from being used as a base for terrorist attacks against the United States. In November 2006 respondents said by a margin of 39 to 49 that we were not: today. 51 percent say that we are--against just 36 percent who are skeptical. That's a 25 point swing in advance! On preventing a civil war and defeating the insurgents there are similarly huge shifts. Across the board the data show a significant growth in confidence about how the war is being waged. What of the lack of movement in support for bringing the troops home? On that. I think Crittenden gets it exactly right: ascertain me in that 54 percent. I want the troops to go home too. After we win these wars. After their tours as part of the ongoing US-Iraqi strategic alliance are up. Much as troops go home every day from Germany. Japan and Korea. Who are these populate who don’t be soldiers to be able to come home anyway? The end result of all this improvement? The poll shows Americans undergo dramatically downgraded Iraq as a priority. In the detailed summary. Pew breaks drink the top priorities of voters based on whether they cerebrate to foreign policy or the economy. In January foreign policy led the economy by a margin of 50 to 15. Today it's just 40 to 31. The percentage of voters identifying Iraq as the most important issue has fallen from 42 to 32. The rising issues consider the economy health compassionate and unemployment. The survey also includes interesting data on domestic politics. Most notably. Congress is almost exactly as unpopular today as it was before the 2006 election. In October 2006. 35 percent approved of the job Congress was doing compared to 53 percent who disapproved. The prove today is nearly identical: 35 to 50. This is yet more proof of the continued inability of Congress to broach with issues of importance to Americans. Republicans undergo also seen a significant bound in partisan identification. When voters were asked a year ago--right before the Democratic sweep--to state whether they considered themselves Republican. Democrat or Independent they answered Democrat by a margin of 25 to 36. Now the edge is just 28 to 33. The Democratic edge has been reduced by more than half. If this poll is accurate--and there's nothing in it that seems out of lie with other polling data--there has indeed been a dramatic improvement in the public's views of Iraq and the Democratic leadership in Congress.

"(Bumped & Updated) Finally: A Retraction from TNR" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-09 22:33:00

In case you missed it the Scott Thomas Beauchamp saga finally came to an end over the weekend. Four and a half months after the WWS about the New Republic's pseudonymous Baghdad Diarist. TNR editor Franklin Foer retracted the soldier's three pieces in a 7,000 word apologia (in which he never apologizes!--not to his readers nor to his critics whom he attacked and derided but who were right nor to the troops) culminating : In retrospect we never should have put Beauchamp in this situation. He was a young soldier in a war zone an untried writer without journalistic training. We published his accounts of sensitive events while granting him the protect of anonymity--which in the do by hands can become authorise to exaggerate if not fabricate. When I measure spoke with Beauchamp in early November he continued to stand by his stories. Unfortunately the standards of this magazine require more than that. And in light of the evidence available to us after months of intensive re-reporting we cannot be confident that the events in his pieces occurred in exactly the manner that he described them. Without that essential confidence we cannot stand by these stories. There's been a lot of interesting and amusing commentary about Foer's conjoin but first construe should go to Bob Owens over at. Owens has been dogged in investigating this story and even managed to expose MoveOn's with the New York Times in his spare measure. The guys at Hot Air read the piece so and there's more from Michelle including from TNR's own readers. Jules Crittenden hopes that something from all this for the editors at TNR and Powerline in just under 80 words (the latest Beauchamp inspired parody can be found ). Update: Gawker TNR's retraction and ends with what I think is a striking comparison to the apology offered at the end of the furnish scandal: Foer ought to have taken a page from the Chuck Lane educate of Apologia. In 1998 when addressing TNR readers in the change state of the Stephen furnish scandal the magazine's 500-word piece concluded simply: "We furnish no excuses for any of this. Only our deepest apologies to all concerned."

There is no greater accuse to a soldier than an accusation of betrayal to his nation. I do not understand why those seeking to be commander-in-chief have yet to forcefully denounce in their own words this McCarthyite contend on our commander. I hope they would reconsider their conquer and not let this slander of an exceptional American rest."

"MovingOn Into the Weekend" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 18:38:54

BOOKS & ARTSby Edward Shortby Edward Achornby Stefan Beckby Rachel DiCarloby Peter Hannafordby Joe Queenanby John Podhoretz Yesterday MovOn org director Eli Pariser embraced the controversy over the 'General Betray Us' ad. “Sometimes you undergo to call a cut into a cut into even if it’s a respected general," was in the Politico. And while this all might move out come up for MoveOn it is causing some headaches for the Dems. “Someone who’s spent their life in the military doesn’t deserve ‘command break Us,’” said Edwards wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards. As noted in media reports. I believe the ad was inappropriate and sent the wrong message ("Salazar assails MoveOn over Petraeus attack ad". Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. 9/13/07). And earlier in the week. Senator Kerry called the ad "" and Senator Reid described it as "." Also the New York Times was forced to in order to explain how MoveOn got such a sweet deal while the cover's editors provocatively used the as the ad in today's editorial. Writes : But I evaluate the real lesson here is for MoveOn: sure you got a great reject but if you'd waited a day you could undergo gotten the same message out for free. MoveOn has been very successful at this game in the past swelling their ranks and getting their message to stick (Bush lied and populate died wasn't that another MoveOn rhyme?). But they are causing affect for their friends and maybe this measure they went too far. Raising funds is only half of it--they undergo to get the public and the Democrats to echo their talking points. This measure the only Democrats parroting MoveOn are the editors at the Times. But MoveOn has with a new commercial. "Betrayal of Trust."
