are Americans finally waking up?!
Gallup: Half of All Americans Now Feel Bush Deliberately Misled Them on WMDs
NEW YORK Half of Americans, exactly 50%, now say the Bush administration deliberately misled Americans about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, the Gallup Poll organization reported this morning.
“This is the highest percentage that Gallup has found on this measure since the question was first asked in late May 2003,” Gallup observed. “At that time, 31% said the administration deliberately misled Americans. This sentiment has gradually increased over time, to 39% in July 2003, 43% in January/February 2004, and 47%in October 2004.”
Also, according to the latest poll, more than half of Americans, 54%, disapprove of the way President George W. Bush is handling the situation in Iraq, while 43% approve. In early February, Americans were more evenly divided on the way Bush was handling the situation in Iraq, with 50% approving and 48% disapproving.
Last week Gallup reported that 53% now believe that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was “not worth it.” But Frank Newport, editor in chief at Gallup, recalled today that a majority of the public began to think the Vietnam war was a mistake in the summer of 1968. But the U.S. did not pull out of Vietnam for more than five years, after thousands of more American lives were lost.

And we're only a few months into the new presidency! We're stuck with this loon for 4 more years unless people truly start to wake up and we impeach the maniac! But, that's only a beautiful pipe dream, i'm sure.
I was actually startled when it struck me yesterday that bush has only been president for just over 4 years so far. The amount of damage that he has done to this country and the world in such a short time is phenomenal! It seems like a lifetime! I honestly don't know how we will survive another 4 years....
