A new AP-Ipsos poll shows that 70% of Americans oppose Bush's escalation of the war in Iraq (the "surge"). Also found in the poll, 60% don't believe that Iraq will achieve a stable, democratic government.

Awww....poor Bushie. Out there, almost all alone. Seems like even some Republicans realize what a sinking ship Bush's Iraq policy is, and they're disembarking while they can.
From an Associated Press article:
As Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, its Democratic chairman Delaware Sen. Joe Biden called Bush's plan a "tragic mistake."
Signaling widening cracks within Bush's own Republican Party over his Iraq policy, not a single committee member spoke out in his support, and a few offered pointed criticism.
"This speech given last night by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam if it's carried out," said Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel, like Biden a potential 2008 White House contender.
Bush just doesn't get it. This escalation of the war is not what the American people went to the polls in massive numbers to vote for in November. Members of Congress are finally realizing they've been had. Yet, Bush remains wedded to his own ideas even though the evidence tells him he's wrong.
If there was every any doubt about who Fox News was whoring for, let those doubts now be put to rest.
Condoleeza Rice was in between taping segments of the various morning news shows. In an unscripted moment over an open microphone, she was overheard telling one of her aides about her preference for the folks over at Fox News. She said "My Fox guys, I love every single one of them."
What was that again about the so-called "liberal" media??
Just in case anyone forgets, Fox News is the very same network that allowed then-candidate George W. Bush's cousin run the Decision Desk on Election Night 2000. What would have been the reaction of those on the right, if some cousin of Al Gore's had been running the decision desk on one of the cable networks on election night?
Fair and balanced, right?
