Next Time, Hire an Historian, Not a FOX News Commentator

Well done Tony Snow -- "The president understands peoples' impatience--not impatience, but how war can wear on a nation. He understands that. If somebody had taken a poll in the Battle of the Bulge, I dare saw people would have said, "Wow, my goodness, what are we doing here? But you cannot conduct a war based on polls."

Uh Tony, you know they actually DID have polls in the 40s. And guess what. The one taken at the time the Battle of the Bulge was raging (12/31/44-1/4/45) asked "If Hitler offered to make peace now and would give up all the land he has conquered, should we try to work out a peace or should we go on fighting until the German army is completely defeated?"

The result? 73% of Americans chose refuse to make peace and keep fighting. Then again 86% of the Americans polled then thought we'd win the war in Europe.

Some Republicans seem determined to keep on comparing the Iraq War with WWII. Who can blame them. If the public doesn't support your war, you can ask yourselves what you've done wrong and try and fix it (yeah, when pigs fly with this crew). Or, you can start a full court press to try and link your war with a "good one." Think anyone's going to fall for it?
