Example of anti-US rumors the
US has to contend with: |
|
|
|
|
Iraq:
Jalal Abbas, 20, a student in Baghdad, says it's widely believed "that
when soldiers search houses, they steal gold and money." |

Conclusion: on the average 2/3 of Iraqis justify Bush's reports of progress,
while liberals try to pass off the 1/3 discontented as the majority when they
spew out their anti-Bush election propaganda, and with their anti-US bad-news
biased media coverage ala Al-Jazeera. |

Note how it is not a poll from a blindly anti-Bush source |

like a major liberal media, |

or the American Welfare Institute ("gimme da money") |
