Are you pessimistic on Iraq?

Bush is focusing this week on how to change strategy in Iraq and was expected to announce a shift in course next week.

Three out of four of those polled said they supported the three major recommendations made by the Iraq Study Group: direct talks with Iran and Syria, withdrawing most U.S. combat troops by March 2008, and a new push aimed at resolving the Israel-Palestinian conflict, USA Today reported.

Bush has rejected the troop withdrawal timetable and direct talks with Iran and Syria. He has not ruled out a regional conference involving Iran and Syria, but the White House indicated Iraq would have to set it up.

In a question asked of a half-sample, a record high 62 percent said the war in Iraq wasn't "worth it," and a record low 16 percent said the United States was winning, USA Today said. That is less than half the 40 percent who held that view a year ago, the newspaper said.

Are you a pessimistic American in regard to bushs' war? I certainly am, I see no end in sight, and the only reason I can see for that is our seeming lack of concern and our total non response to blatant tyranny.

Yes, I'm pessimistic that bush will not budge and will take this all the way to the brink and beyond. I'm of the pessimistic opinion that we ain't seen NOTHIN' yet.
