[Vision2020] Commentary by Michael Costello of theLewiston Tribune

[g. crabtree]

I realize that I may not be the most finely honed blade in Moscow's collective pocket knife but, what exactly about GW's current Iraq plan is it that is supposed to "pass in congress?" I'm fairly sure the President, as commander in chief with authority granted by a previous vote in congress,  can move ahead with his plan with out so much as an additional by your leave. All congress can do now is whine and  fund the effort or not.

What the question clearly demonstrated was that sadly 6% of Democrats,11% of Republicans, and 12% of independents responding to the poll were also in need of a little bit of sharpening.

  That makes very good sense.  In that case, they would have been much better off wording it "Do you personaly want the Iraq plan President Bush announced last week to pass?" instead.

Yes No (Don't know)
Democrats 51% 34 15
Republicans 79% 11 10
    
It's clear from the way this question was worded, and the time at
which it was asked, that the meaning is "do you want the Iraq plan
President Bush announced to succeed *in Congress*." The answer to that
question, for the vast majority of Democrats, is "no."
