"Iraqis polled: War did more harm than good but worth it"

This makes me question the validity of the poll. The very fact that the war was "worth it" implies that it did more good than harm. That headline is an oxymoron, and clearly shows a skew that a liberal would utilize in order to further their politics. Coming from Cnn.com, the liberal skew makes even more sense.

Frankly that sounds like a more conservative screw to me with the 'worth it' tacked on...since that implies that despite its cost it still had the greater benefit.

But I certainly agree that it makes no sense at all. Since it essentially says it wasn't worth it but it was.

Yeah, considering the quote draws opposite conclusions, I can see how either liberal/conservative viewpoint can be seen> I merely interpretted as liberal due to the source of the quote cnn.com.

It's very simple.

They hate the war, but have hope for the future.

Every human loves American freedom.

Recognize it foo!

Go find a poll on Fox News to suit your agenda better then. Guess what? The "liberal" media ran far more "negative" Gore pieces than "negative" Bush pieces in the '00 campaign. Get over it.

"The war, thus far, has done more harm than good but in the long run it will be beneficial."

I read the CNN article and it is just damn confusing as hell. The make polls to contradict their own polls.

Hard to know how the dead one's would have voted... Remember this guy Saddam get credit for killing 50,000 every year for the past 20 years he's been in power.

What exactly is my agenda - I do not believe I stated any agenda other than an opinion related to what I had observed. And where exactly do you get that LIberal media ran more negative Gore pieces than Bush, care to provide a source or factual backing for your blanket statement?
