But hey, that's GOOD NEWS.

Because it's HIGHER than bush's approval rating of 43%!

And they say we never point out the good news!

:rofl:

1. How many people would not be brave enough to express disapproval! nt

[LynnTheDem]

3. True, Iraqi approval is probably more like 35%...but then, bush's isn't

really 43% either.

:D :D :D

GAWD I LOVE this! BUSH'S ratings LOWER than the Iraqi govt's which are NEGATIVE too!

That cracks me up! :rofl:

2. I feel so bad for the Iraqi people

and the Afghan people

When will they be free of dictators and occupation and drug lords. When? We are obviously unable to do it - we have destroyed their infrastructure and can't make the country safe for our fat-cats to rebuild it, much less qualified Iraqi contractors.

When will they get their chance?

[LynnTheDem]

4. They're working on that chance right now; they're called "insurgents"

;)

7. why do you hate our country?!

I just wish Americans weren't the ones over there in this conflict. I don't want our soldiers killed, I don't want Iraqi civilians killed.

I want the senseless killing to stop.

[Pockets]

11. We aren't there to help Iraq

The administration sent us there in order to fight the war on their land so we don't have to fight it on our land, and so they can make a buck. That's hardly doing Iraq a favor -- that was never the intent -- in fact we owe them more now morally than what ever could be repaid, in additonal to the monetary debts we owe that have increased.

[LynnTheDem]

13. Umm...WHAT??? "fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here"??

PULLEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!

Are you saying IRAQ was ever planning to attack us???!!

Are you saying terrorists around the world CAN'T STILL attack us HERE??? Especially now that we're SITTING DUCKS with our troops Iraqmired???

That crap "we're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here" is THE STUPIDEST mantra EVER.

[LynnTheDem]

12. I wish no one was in this conflict, coz there never had to be a conflict.

What does God have to say about wars of CHOICE.

Gee I wonder.

5. I was going to say

it looks like their architect's approval ratings.

[Spazito]

6. I would be less than honest if I didn't say I don't believe any

Iraqi polls given the conditions that exist in Iraq today. The country is nearing, if not already in, a civil war, there is less electricity than before the invasion, there is little or no information regarding how the poll was taken, etc.

So, be be more succinct, I think they pull the poll numbers out of their asses as they do all their other statistics, lol.

9. Wouldn't surprise me

Have to do something for Bush and his poll numbers. Watch a poll of Bush coming sometime soon.

[LynnTheDem]

14. Right. That's why, if they were pulling numbers out their ass, they'd

pull 45% down from 85%.

Coz they're THAT stupid.

Me, if I were the Cartel pulling numbers out my ass, I'd pull at least 58%...maybe 62%...

[FreedomAngel82]

8. Quite pathetic I think on Bush's part

[paineinthearse]

10. I suspect the polling method

Was it done as the international election monitoring, by telephone from nearby countries?

[LynnTheDem]

15. It wasn't by phone from neighboring countries for bush's poll figures...

I don't think polls go down to "minus Zero".

:D
