Support for Bush among troops falling fast. Do you hear that? That is the fat lady clearing her throat!

Support for President George W. Bush's Iraq policy has fallen among the US armed forces to just 54 percent from 63 percent a year ago, according to a poll by the magazine group Military Times.

Oh damn! This is just not good news for the warmongers!

"In 2003 and 2004, supporters of the war in Iraq pointed to high approval ratings in the Military Times poll as a signal that military members were behind ... the president's policy."

However, it said, the new poll "found diminished optimism that US goals in Iraq can be accomplished, and a somewhat smaller drop in support for the decision to go to war in 2003."

How can you fight your war if the soldiers are not committed to the conflict? Answer; You can't!

All may not be lost though. The magazine does make this point.

Military Times, which publishes popular magazines for each of the US military branches including Army Times and Navy Times, cautioned that its poll, of 1,215 active-duty servicemen, is not necessarily representative of the military as a whole.

The respondents were "on average older, more experienced, more likely to be officers and more career-oriented than the military population."

So the older, more experienced soldiers may be the only ones that feel this way. And what do these guys know? Career soldiers, sheesh! I am sure that there are plenty of young uneducated goobers still willing to volunteer for cannon fodder duty.

No joke, lets end this debacle and start bringing these guys home.
