Today's Los Angeles Times (6/16/10)has thisheadline:
Debate Grows Over Afghanistan Withdrawal Plan
The lead:
Recent setbacks in Afghanistan have intensified debate over the wisdom of the Obama administration's plan to begin withdrawing U.S. military forces next summer and highlighted reservations among military commanders over a rigid timeline.
Debating the war– let's have at it. Onone side are U.S. military officials, who are portrayed as having "reservations" about a withdrawal timeline. On the other side: Sen. John McCain, who… well,has serious reservations aboutwithdrawal timelines.
Not part of this debate: the 53 percent of the U.S. public (ABC/Washington Post, 6/3-6/10) who say the Afghan War wasn't worth fighting.

Well, given a margin of error of, say, 4%, would mean that possibly LESS THAN HALF of all Americans think it's a bad idea; and why bother with a (potential) minority opinion? (Oh, wait… McCain also represents a 'minority opinion', too… but just barely… and he Does get a "Veteran's Preference".) ^..^
