"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
two 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."

- While the survey shows voters believe (60 percent- 34 percent) that Iraq
will never become a stable democracy, they still disagree that victory
in Iraq ("creating a young, but stable democracy and reducing the
threat of terrorism at home") is no longer possible. Fifty-three percent
say it's still possible, while 43 percent disagree.

- By a wide 74 percent - 25 percent margin, voters disagree with the
notion that "I don't really care what happens in Iraq after the U.S.
leaves, I just want the troops brought home."

you have to be a complete idiot to believe the war in iraq has anything to do with terror ... that being said I fully supported the war in Iraq for my own reasons .. but to say it has anything to do with the war against terror ? you have to be real REAL real ignorant

all that war has done is CREATE MORE terroririst and make the terrorirst goal gain more support

if you want peace you need to act now and make you voice heard .

[Drake]

I guess the bigger question is how that will be accomplished.

[pocketkangaroo]

This is a surprise. The largest Republican polling service comes up with a pro-Republican poll.

Has there been a terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11?

And... who are these people who are swinging their support over to the side of the terrorists and their goals? If what you're saying is true then maybe heir Bush needs to declare war on them as well. :D

[Beejeebers]

Yes the war in Iraq has created more terrorists.

That was a side effect of the purpose of the war. It was never totally about oil. It was never totally about revenge for trying to kill Daddy. It was about moving the terrorists attacks off U.S. soil to a part of the world that the U.S. gov't could get away with. Iraq was the top choice because there was a bad history there between the nations and the gov't could hide behind other reasons for being there. Half the nation thinks Bush is a moron, the other half sees what he's accomplished. There has not been another terrorist attack on U.S. since 911. That was exactly what the gov't wanted. They moved the battlefield from the U.S. to a foreign nation, very far away from the general public. They can never "win" because there is nothing to win. They've used this whole "fiasco" as a very smart plan to make the terrorists attack their superior army, not it's innocent citizens.

(I'm no fan of Bush, but I think you have look at things from every angle.)

Winner of FACTORY GIRL Poster Design Contest Announced

NEW YORK, Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- After receiving thousands of
outstanding entries from across the country, The Weinstein Company is
pleased to announce that Dimitri LaBarge, from Nashville, Tennessee, is the
winner of the contest to create the best movie poster for the film FACTORY
GIRL. Dimitri will have his poster prominently displayed at his hometown
theater Regal Green Hills 16 in Nashville, a private screening of FACTORY
GIRL for him and 25 of his friends, a full-size print of their poster
autographed by the cast, which includes Sienna Miller, Guy Pearce and
Hayden Christensen, and a promotion for the poster on the film's official
website, http://www.factorygirlmovie.net. Currently in theaters, FACTORY GIRL is a
Weinstein Company presentation being released in the U.S. by
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (MGM).
To enter, contestants simply had to log onto http://www.factorygirlmovie.net
and download the Contest Package which provided them with images from the
film, different title treatments, a billing block with logos, a copy of the
official FACTORY GIRL poster (for some creative inspiration), a
SampleHowTo.pdf which gave an overview of how we made the official poster,
Treatment Ideas which gave different ideas of how to treat an image, and
contest rules and directions to build their poster.
FACTORY GIRL imaginatively unfolds the comet-like rise and fall of 60s
'it girl' Edie Sedgwick, the blazing superstar who came to define both the
glamour and the tragedy of our celebrity-obsessed culture. Sedgwick
appeared to be the quintessential American princess, with her blue blood,
her trust fund and her Harvard education, not to mention her ethereal
beauty and vivacious charisma. But she was also a lost and fragile little
girl; and when she met up with counter-culture anti-hero Andy Warhol,
everything changed. Suddenly, Edie found herself at the center of a Pop Art
universe bursting with sex, drugs, style and rock 'n' roll -- and a mad
rush for fame and fabulousness that was destined to spin out of control.
Arriving into the chaos of mid-60s New York, Edie (Sienna Miller) is
taken under the wing of the famously deadpan artist Andy Warhol (Guy
Pearce) who sees in her untamed vulnerability the makings of an
irresistible muse. Warhol invites Edie into the wild world of The Factory,
a former downtown hat factory he has transformed into a bohemian paradise.
Here, a rag-tag mix of musicians, poets, artists, actors and misfits gather
to create avant-garde movies during the day and throw glam parties all
night long. Edie quickly ascends to become the star of Warhol's movies, an
idol at The Factory and a media darling. She is on top of the world when
she falls in love with a larger-than-life rock star (Hayden Christensen),
the man known as "the voice of a generation." But when Edie becomes caught
between Warhol's world of sexy surfaces and her new love, she winds up
rejected by both --
- and
once again, set adrift in the
modern world.

[Kevsh]

You didn't see the rest of the poll, some other interesting tidbits:

- 62% of those we phoned for this survey expected to be paid for answering our questions and of those 28% became hostile when we told them they weren't

- 78% of respondents pronounce Iraq EYE-WRACK, 9% pronounce it E-RACK and 23% asked us if we're the ones with the little green lizard in our commercial

- A surprisingly low 36% couldn't spell Iraq, but that helps explain the 31% that couldn't spell USA either

- 41% of those we talked to owned a gun, 25% owned more than one, 11% owned at least 5. Of those that owned at least one gun, 56% approved the war in EYE-WRACK, 33% acknowledged they approve any war and 9% thought DDE was still president.

- 23% of those polled regularly surf GFY
HOO-RAH!
