Iraq

via MSNBC

The war in Iraq also continues to be a drag on Republicans and the White House. In the poll, a whopping 68 percent say they feel less optimistic about how things are going there, compared with only 20 percent who feel more optimistic. That's a significant shift from June, when voters were evenly split on this question.

But you don't have to see the polling results from MSNBC to understand this. Simply go to the GOP's own website, and you will see the last time they have 'good news' from Iraq is August 28th, that is 55 days ago. When Rep. Vito Fossella and his party pushing this war can't even find any good news to promote, you realize things aren't going well. Harrison has it right on his Iraq policy statements.
