With public confidence declining in President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq, nearly 70 percent of Americans feel the United States will be bogged down in the country for years without achieving its goals, a poll finds.

The Newsweek poll released Saturday also found that nearly 6 of 10 people are concerned that the U.S. military will be overextended should another security threat arise outside Iraq. And 7 of 10 are concerned the costs of the war will increase the deficit and hurt the economy.

The war costs the United States roughly $1 billion per week.

3. Yet Moron-Amerika will continue to support bu$h

I have nightmares about legions of Arkies* who have lost their jobs, exhausted their unemployment benefits and who are on the verge of having their mobile homes repossessed turning out in droves to support our President because he's doing such a good job of protecting us**.

I see them using their last gallons of gasoline to drive to the polls to vote for bu$h. Somebody tell me I'm wrong. Please?

* NOTE: "Arkies" used as example purely because I are one and I have been observing their (our) behavior for thirty years. I'm afraid the theory will hold true anywhere in the Xtian/Fundie South!
