H-Man, Please review MSI's lucid discussion of "push-polls" from last evening on this thread. When you say: "The public opinion polls that show support for attacking Iraq are common knowledge to anyone who has watched the news." I find that completely risible. Common knowledge at certain times has been that the earth is flat, the earth is the center of the universe, disease is caused by bad air, the earth was created in 4004 B.C. and thousands of other examples of patent nonsense. Polls are one of the most abused forms of lying in our current electoral process. Polls can be contorted to say anything anyone wants. It's all in how you phrase and pose the questions. End of the story. Polls are bunk. Salaams, Ray
