AP Ipsos: 77% of Americans say number of US and Iraqi deaths "unacceptable"
Has there been an acceptable or unacceptable number of U.S. military casualties in Iraq?

Acceptable 19%
Unacceptable 77%


Even fewer find the number of Iraqi civilian casualties "acceptable"

Has there been an acceptable or unacceptable number of Iraqi civilian casualties in Iraq?

Acceptable 17%
Unacceptable 77%


Surprising, since more than half (52%) believe that only 10,000 or fewer Iraqi civilians have been killed.

2. Dems have to buy time and explain what cutting funds means.
They have to SHOW how it worked before and prove that there will be no starving American soldiers, until the get home and find out they need food stamps.
