Political partisanship is strongest in views of whether Bush's policy is clear: Sixty-six percent of Republicans say it is, but this dives to 36 percent of independents and Democrats alike. Accordingly, 55 percent of Democrats, and 48 percent of independents, say Congress should have the final word. Just 28 percent of Republicans agree. Its a good poll. Its time Americans got past this blind allegiance since 9/11 and started thinking through the consequences of what is being suggested. I glad they since Congress as a check to the power of the executive branch......that's the way its supposed to work. ted ted

While 69 percent do favor U.S. military action to force Saddam Hussein from power, that falls to 54 percent if U.S. allies oppose it. And while 57 percent support a U.S. invasion of Iraq with ground troops, that drops to 40 percent if it means heavy U.S. casualties. All majorities except the last which may be a plurality depending on what the other response get. Personally I'd like to know more about what Bush plans before I give an attack my unqualified support. I think an invasion is tactically and operationally doable, and morally justified, but the situation in Iraq post invasion could be very messy. Of course I understand why the DoD isn't publishing invasion plans and timetables on the internet... Tim
