What Andy said.

The war in Iraq has been a distraction from a lot of things.

Well, almost nobody....obviously.

On the news this morning, Bush's reported DIS-approval rating is around 66 percent, if I heard correctly.

They never talk about disapproval ratings...it's always coached in terms of "approval ratings."

Sunday, June 15, 2008 Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election.

For the seven days ending June 14, just 31% approved of the way the President is performing his job. Sixty-seven percent (67%) disapproved. Those figures are unchanged from a week ago and match the lowest level of approval ever recorded.

Currently, just 11% Strongly Approve of the President’s performance. Four times as many—49%--Strongly Disapprove. Both those figures are a point worse for the President than a week ago and represent new all-time lows.

I just don't think this is an intensified focus and effort, I think it's a reinvigorated reporting based upon found information.
Bush has had more important things to worry about...like whether a certain percentage of 3 percent of the overall population getting married is going to destroy the institution of marriage, and with it, all of western civilization.

Or about forging ahead with a North American Union with Canada and Mexico. The real threat to western civilization (extremist islamofacism) isn't even allowed free discourse in Canada, and Mexico....well, no need to even go there is there?

Yep, the Bush administration has many many things on its mind to occupy itself with.

Let me guess - you forgot about this?
Quote:

Whereas Iraq, in direct and flagrant violation of the cease-fire, attempted to thwart the efforts of weapons inspectors to identify and destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction stockpiles and development capabilities, which finally resulted in the withdrawal of inspectors from Iraq on October 31, 1998;

Whereas in 1998 Congress concluded that Iraq's continuing weapons of mass destruction programs threatened vital United States interests and international peace and security, declared Iraq to be in "material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations" and urged the President "to take appropriate action, in accordance with the Constitution and relevant laws of the United States, to bring Iraq into compliance with its international obligations" (Public Law 105-235);

Whereas members of al Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq;

Whereas Iraq continues to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations, including organizations that threaten the lives and safety of American citizens;

Whereas the attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001 underscored the gravity of the threat posed by the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by international terrorist organizations


Whereas the President and Congress are determined to continue to take all appropriate actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations or persons who planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such persons or organizations; Whereas the President has authority under the Constitution to take action in order to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States, as Congress recognized in the joint resolution on Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40); and

SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE.
This joint resolution may be cited as the "Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Iraq".


SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.




(a) AUTHORIZATION. The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to
(1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and (2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq.

Seems to me, that this country has forgotten the terror of 9/11. They're fixing to elect a Muslim as President.

True insanity.
