Bush vs Terrorists (Bush +3)
This just caught my eye.
The US has a million and a half men(and women) under arms, again not counting FBI, CIA, DHS, and locals, fighting against maybe, what, 40,000 terrorists with less than a billion a year, and the perception is 50/50 on who is winning?
How happy will I be when I see that "Under New Management" sign out in front of the White House?
February 27, 2005--Just 39% of Americans now believe the U.S. and its allies are winning the War on Terror. That's down from 42% earlier this month and from 44% in January. With just one exception, this is the lowest level of confidence ever measured by Rasmussen Reports.
Even more dramatic is the fact that 36% now believe the terrorists are winning. That's up five points over the past two weeks and up ten points since our January survey.
A plurality of women and a majority of Democrats now believe the terrorists are winning.
36% believe the terrorists are beating the US. Think about that a minute. How mismanaged has this whole thing been when a $500 billion defense department, plus another $135 billion for Iraq/Afghanistan, plus all the funding for the FBI, CIA, DHS, local grants, and all the rest, and people still think the terrorists are winning.

I'm confused. Where are we actually fighting terrorists? In Iraq, we are fighting an insurgency. Iran is a theocracy, and in Afghanistan we're fighting with tribal warlords, alQaeda having been rounded up and shipped to Guantanamo or escaped to Pakistan.
How can we win a war we aren't even fighting?
