The Democratic-controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee today dismissed President Bush's plans to increase troop levels in Iraq as "not in the national interest," an unusual wartime repudiation of the commander in chief.
Maybe there's some hope afterall, relating this to the following CBS News POLL results from January 22, 2007:
SHOULD U.S. SEND 20,000 MORE TROOPS TO IRAQ? 66 percent say, “NO”
NUMBER OF AMERICANS WHO THINK THE WAR IN IRAQ IS GOING BADLY: 75 percent
NUMBER OF AMERICANS WHO APPROVE OF BUSH'S WAR ON TERROR: 28 percent
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THE U.S. IS SAFER FROM TERRORISM UNDER BUSH: 17 percent
NUMBER OF AMERICANS WHO APPROVE OF BUSH'S JOB AS PRESIDENT:28 percent (A new, all-time low for Bush, and only Richard Nixon faired worse at 23 percent -- just before he resigned.)
