I mentioned this in a previous blog in passing based on a poll by Investers Business Daily.  Recent Polls show that Americans may not like war, but we hate losing more. 

Note that I do not trust or place that much faith in polls, they are too fickle and unreliable.  But the left does, and loves to cite the polls that show how the American public hates war constantly.

Well time to look at the other side.

POLL: AMERICANS ‘WANT TO WIN IN IRAQ’
Tue Feb 20 2007 16:21:32 ET

In the wake of the U.S. House of Representatives passing a resolution that amounts to a vote of no confidence in the Bush administration’s policies in Iraq, a new national survey by Alexandria, VA-based Public Opinion Strategies (POS) shows the American people may have some different ideas from their elected leaders on this issue.

The survey was conducted nationwide February 5-7 among a bi-partisan, cross-section of 800 registered voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent. The survey was commissioned by The Moriah Group, a Chattanooga-based strategic communications and public affairs firm.

The survey shows Americans want to win in Iraq, and that they understand Iraq is the central point in the war against terrorism and they can support a U.S. strategy aimed at achieving victory, said Neil Newhouse, a partner in POS. The idea of pulling back from Iraq is not where the majority of Americans are.

• By a 53 percent - 46 percent margin, respondents surveyed said that Democrats are going too far, too fast in pressing the President to withdraw troops from Iraq.
• By identical 57 percent - 41 percent margins, voters agreed with these statements: I support finishing the job in Iraq, that is, keeping the troops there until the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security and the Iraqi war is a key part of the global war on terrorism.
• Also, by a 56 percent - 43 percent margin, voters agreed that even if they have concerns about his war policies, Americans should stand behind the President in Iraq because we are at war.

I don’t watch Scrubs regularly so I did not see this when it aired but I have to say that it had me laughing out loud at work when a friend sent it to  me just in time to cheer me up.

So thanks to "Chuck*" for introducing me to Steacy for whom I thank for the clip.  Turk and JD will explain the rest…in a totally manly way.
