Great. So Murtha was quoting a poll of the uninformed.

That based on what they see in the foreign popular media ( a foreign media that gives even less explanation or defense of U.S. foreign policy than the liberal media inside the U.S. does) these foreigners in 10 of 14 countries (a little more than two-thirds) have a perception of the U.S. as more dangerous than Iran and North Korea, and as an occupier.

A survey that cites the perception of people in countries with media coverage partisan against the U.S.

What a shock ! They don't have a trusting perception of the U.S.

This isn't a survey of state officials or intelligence experts.

This isn't even an opinion survey of people who live in Iraq. Quite the contrary, a majority in Iraq surveyed say they want the U.S, military there, and fear increased violence and civil war if the U.S. should pull out prematurely.

So Murtha's asserions, and citing this meaningless poll, don't prove anything.




Also, would Murtha be quoting this survey if he didn't agree with its portrayal of the U.S. ?
So does it really matter whether Murtha was presenting his own ideas or quoting a poll ?

Murtha's assertions are the same regardless, still promoting political division in the U.S., and still giving pre-packaged propaganda to our enemies overseas.

Murtha's using a less than credible opinion poll to further trash the image of the U.S., promoting his own negative ideas about the Iraq war, using the opinion poll to give his defeatist assertions pseudo-credibility.

But the U.S. soldiers on the ground in Iraq, who see it all, and patrol the streets of Iraq every day, don't agree with Murtha.
