Fascinating

You know, I figured higher support for the war in Iraq would have to await actual final victory.

But while I wasn't looking, support for the war has gone up (tip to Instapundit):

Yesterday, we found out that American support for U.S. participation in the Iraq war is rising.

One poll last week (Sept. 12-13) found that 51 percent of Americans back “the U.S. war in Iraq.” That’s the first majority for the war since October 2003. A slightly newer (Sept. 15-17) poll showed that, for the first time since last December, less than a majority of Americans believe the Iraq war was a mistake.



Of course, it won't stop the press from calling the Iraq War the "increasingly unpopular" war. I think they all have shortcut keys on their word processors for that phrase.

Shows you what focused presidential attention can do, I suppose. Our people just want to be assured we will fight hard enough to win.
