60. I only disagree with the 90% were against. Remember how Viet-Nam was so unpopular?
Overwhelming majority were against it, nationwide. If you were pro war, you were dead politically. Then what happened?

One thing I predicted. "Just watch. They will turn this huge anti-war sentiment into pro-POW sympathy." And those propaganda flicks came out.

Suddenly like good little Nazis we were being told to support the troops. These words muffled "Stop the war!"

And the news media helped. No longer direct bloody war scenes but they jumped in bed with pro military propagandists. The war was never properly covered again.

We wasted over a trillion dollars playing kill bin Laden and still we don't have the evidence on how one of the four trade buildings fell. But don't let that stop the warring folks. They only saw blood. And our Social Security was raped repeatedly by Bush to steal funds from working people to pay so his friends could get rich:

A) Arming Iraq to the teeth.
B) Bombing Irag to the Stone Age
C) Rebuilding Iraq's bombed infrastructure

and D) If nobody remembers or cares anymore, steal those cheap oil fields.
