Gary > The BINK Poll: Only five Americans still oppose war

onlinejournal.com

>>>With war being presented as little more than a PG (Parental Guidance) movie, only five Americans still say that it was wrong to attack Iraq in the first place, which means about 80 million Americans who were opposed to the Iraqi war now say they were wrong.

This was the most significant finding of the latest BINK Poll, based this time on a representative sampling of 12 adults selected randomly from those seated in the first three rows of the American Idol audience.

Americans still have mixed feelings about invading another country preemptively, especially another hot desert country. According to the BINK Poll, 22 percent would be more likely to support an invasion of a country with nice ski and snowboarding slopes, while 13 percent think we should invade a country with great beaches. "I figure that's how I'll support the troops: by sending them to a place they want to be and a place I like to watch on TV," one respondent, representing 50 million Americans, said.

All the five Americans still opposed to the war are in hiding, mostly from the producers of the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox. Apparently, O'Reilly wants to yell at them until they change their minds so he can get credit for uniting the country. <<<
